Dies for drawing or extruding metal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8207 20 00 (Dies for drawing or extruding metal) 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 interchangeable tools and cutting inserts under Chapter 82 may carry distinct compliance obligations depending on their form and intended use.

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 tooling under Chapter 82: other interchangeable tools for machine-tools — such as drilling, threading, or milling inserts — may be classified under sibling headings that attract their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise tooling function and material composition against the customs tariff before relying on this tariff line's clean status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8207 20 00 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.

Drilling, threading, and other cutting tools are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 82 and may attract compliance obligations not applicable to dies for drawing or extruding metal.
