Printed

Printed aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 93 (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 be classified under sibling tariff lines that attract separate compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line turns entirely on the accuracy of the classification: a container described as printed but assessed by customs as otherwise finished — anodised, lacquered, or coated — may be re-classified to a sibling line with different duty or compliance implications. Where the containers are intended for specific regulated gases, the cargo's end-use can also draw scrutiny from Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation requirements independent of the tariff classification. Verify the precise surface treatment and intended fill-gas against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7613 00 93 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 has a different surface finish rather than a printed one?

Containers with a different finish are classified under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 76, which may attract distinct duty rates and separate compliance review at the time of customs examination.
