Aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas, other

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 19 (aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas — other than those separately classified) 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. Containers intended for specific gas types or carrying pressure-vessel certification requirements may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 76 or attract Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation scrutiny depending on the contained gas.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of a Quality Control Order at this tariff line does not eliminate risk: aluminium gas cylinders classified elsewhere within heading 7613 — or steel cylinders under Chapter 73 — may carry BIS mandatory certification, and customs officers examining the actual goods may re-classify based on design specification or intended gas. Re-classification triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending the relevant conformity certificate. Confirm the precise container specification — working pressure, design standard, intended fill gas — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Does HSN 7613 00 19 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the aluminium gas container is of a more specific or certified pressure-vessel type?

More specifically defined aluminium gas containers may be classified under a distinct tariff line within Chapter 76 or subject to mandatory BIS certification and Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation oversight, each carrying their own pre-import compliance obligations.
