NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7613 00 99 (other 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. Certain pressure vessels and gas cylinders elsewhere in Chapter 76 or under Chapter 73 (iron and steel containers) may attract compliance depending on material composition and design specification.

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 pressure-containment products: cylinders designed for specific gases — including LPG, medical oxygen, or compressed industrial gases — may be re-classified to a tariff line that carries Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation or other statutory approval requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the cylinder's intended gas type, working pressure, and design standard before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7613 00 99 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 container is designed for a regulated gas such as LPG or medical oxygen?

Containers intended for regulated gases may be subject to statutory approvals under gas-cylinder safety rules administered at the chapter level, and customs re-classification to a more specific tariff line would trigger retrospective compliance.
