Chasers

Chasers for tapping or threading tools

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8207 40 10 (Chasers) 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. Other interchangeable tools within Chapter 82 — such as drilling, boring, or milling tools — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to chasers classified under 8207 40 10; other tools for tapping or threading, and broader cutting-tool families within Chapter 82, may attract compliance under separate headings. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific or differently regulated tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the tool's precise function and construction — material, coating, intended machine type — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
