Hacksaw frames

Hacksaw frames for hand saws

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8202 99 10 (Hacksaw frames) 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 tariff lines within Chapter 82 — covering saw blades, hand saws, and assembled cutting tools — may carry distinct compliance obligations depending on product form and intended use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: hacksaw frames imported as part of an assembled hacksaw or bundled with blades may be re-classified by customs into a different line within Chapter 82 that carries compliance obligations. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Ensure the commercial invoice and packing list describe the goods precisely as unassembled frames, separate from any accompanying blades.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8202 99 10 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 hacksaw frames are imported as complete assembled hacksaws with blades?

Assembled hacksaws may be classified under a different tariff line within Chapter 82 and could attract compliance obligations that do not apply to frames imported separately.
