Water filters of a capacity not exceeding 40 litres
Porcelain or china water filters, capacity not exceeding 40 litres
HSN 6911 90 20 (water filters of porcelain or china, capacity not exceeding 40 litres) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other household or kitchenware articles of porcelain or china classified elsewhere in Chapter 69, or water filters made from non-ceramic materials classified in other chapters, may attract different compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the specific intersection of ceramic material and the stated capacity threshold; water treatment or filtration products made of plastics or metals are classified in other chapters and can carry distinct product-safety or BIS obligations. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the unit exceeds 40 litres or is constructed of a non-ceramic body — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Confirm material composition, capacity, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
