With working part of steel

Circular saw blades with working part of steel

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8202 31 00 (circular saw blades with working part of steel) 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 saw blades within Chapter 82 — particularly those tipped with diamond or other materials — are classified under separate tariff lines that may carry distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: blades tipped with non-steel materials (diamond, carbide, or other hard metal) fall under separate subheadings within Chapter 82 and may attract different duty rates or compliance obligations. Customs re-classification on examination can trigger retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Verify the working-part material and blade type precisely against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
