Portable aluminium bridge, structural aluminium components
HSN 7610 90 21 (Portable bridge) is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the ITC (HS) import policy, which classifies this tariff line as Free with effect from 26 November 2024. No additional sectoral Partner Government Agency clearance is listed for this tariff line; standard customs documentation at the bill-of-entry stage applies.
- Import declaration from CBIC
- Commercial invoice from exporter
- 1Confirm that the imported goods fall squarely within the tariff description 'parts of structures, not elsewhere specified: portable bridge' under CTI 7610 90 21. The Free import policy status applies specifically to this product description with effect from 26 November 2024; misclassified goods may be assessed under a restricted or licensed heading.ITC (HS) import policy, Chapter 76 · CTI 7610 90 21, w.e.f. 26-11-2024
- 2File the bill of entry with the correct CTI and product description at the port of import. As no PGA NOC or e-Sanchit document upload is mandated for this tariff line, standard Customs Act, 1962 documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin where applicable — governs out-of-charge.ITC (HS) import policy, Chapter 76 · Customs Act, 1962
The most common error on this tariff line is misclassification: aluminium bridge sections or structural parts that are not self-contained portable bridge units may fall under adjacent CTIs within heading 7610, some of which carry different policy conditions. Verify that the goods meet the specific tariff description 'portable bridge' before filing; reclassification by customs post-assessment can attract differential duty and potential Customs Act, 1962 penalties.
