Reamers

Reamers, interchangeable boring and broaching tools

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8207 60 10 (Reamers) 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 taps, threading tools, or rock-drilling bits — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: reamers are a defined sub-category of boring and broaching tools, and a customs officer who re-classifies the goods to a different tool type within Chapter 82 triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending correction. Verify that the product specification — cutting geometry, intended use (hand tool versus machine tool), and base metal composition — precisely matches the tariff description before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8207 60 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 tool is a tap, drill, or other cutting tool rather than a reamer?

Different interchangeable tool types are classified under distinct subheadings within Chapter 82 and may attract separate compliance requirements, making precise product identification essential before classification.
