Printed

Printed aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 13 (printed 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 containers for compressed or liquefied gas — particularly those classified as unprinted or those intended for specific regulated gases — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 76 that carry distinct compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all aluminium gas containers: sibling lines within Chapter 76 covering unprinted or differently specified containers may attract compliance, and containers for specific gases such as LPG or medical oxygen may trigger PGA requirements under the relevant gas or petroleum rules. Re-classification on customs examination — based on print specification, intended fill gas, or valve configuration — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the applicable licence or clearance. Verify the product specification precisely against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
