Garage tools in sets

Garage tools put up in sets for retail sale

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8206 00 10 (garage tools in sets) 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. Individual hand tools drawn from headings 8202 to 8205 — such as saw blades, files, pliers, or spanners — may carry distinct compliance when imported separately rather than as a retail set under Chapter 82.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The set classification under HSN 8206 00 10 depends on the retail presentation being genuine and intact; a set broken down or re-packaged before importation may be re-classified by customs to the constituent tool headings individually, some of which carry compliance obligations. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify that packaging, labelling, and commercial documentation consistently describe the goods as a pre-packaged retail set before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8206 00 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 garage tools are imported individually rather than as a retail set?

Individual hand tools classified under headings 8202 to 8205 are assessed on their own tariff lines, some of which may attract compliance requirements under Chapter 82.
