Plain

Plain aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 21 (plain 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Aluminium gas containers that are fitted with valves, pressure regulators, or other accessories, or that are classified by gas type or intended use, may fall under sibling tariff lines or attract Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation oversight depending on the contained gas.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to plain, unfitted aluminium containers; containers intended for specific regulated gases — industrial, medical, or liquefied petroleum — may attract clearance requirements under Chapter 76 sibling lines or under gas-specific regulations administered at the point of filling or use. Re-classification by customs on examination — based on valve fittings, markings, or declared end-use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product specification and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
