Lacquered aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas
HSN 7613 00 12 (lacquered aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas) 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 aluminium gas containers — particularly those classified by finish, capacity, or intended gas type — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 76 that carry distinct compliance.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to every aluminium container for compressed or liquefied gas: containers differentiated by surface treatment, wall thickness, design pressure, or the nature of the gas they are rated to hold may attract certification or petroleum-safety requirements under a more specific classification. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or conformity certificate. Verify the precise product specification — finish type, capacity, design pressure, intended gas — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
