Printed aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 23 (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 gas containers within Chapter 76 — particularly unprinted or differently finished variants — may attract separate classification and, depending on the gas intended for containment, Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation scrutiny at the commodity level.

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: vessels designed for specific regulated gases, or containers classified by finish or capacity under a sibling tariff line, carry their own compliance exposure. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the printing is deemed incidental to an otherwise regulated container type — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the product's finish description, capacity, and intended gas against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance.
