Lacquered

Lacquered aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 92 (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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other aluminium gas containers classified within Chapter 76 — or pressure vessels falling under Chapter 73 (iron and steel articles) — may attract distinct compliance depending on material, finish, or intended use.

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: unlacquered or differently finished containers under Chapter 76, and steel pressure vessels under Chapter 73, each sit in separate tariff lines that may carry their own compliance obligations. Re-classification on customs examination — based on material composition, surface treatment, or end-use declaration — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise product specification, including lacquer type and intended gas medium, before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7613 00 92 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 not lacquered or has a different surface finish?

A differently finished container may be classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 76, which could attract its own compliance regime; re-classification by customs triggers retrospective compliance obligations.
