HAND-OPERATED MECHANICAL APPLIANCES, WEIGHING 10 KG. OR LESS, USED IN THE PREPARATION, CONDITIONING OR SERVING OF FOOD OR DRINK
Hand-operated mechanical appliances for food preparation or serving
HSN 8210 00 00 (hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning, or serving of food or drink) 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. Electrically powered kitchen appliances classified under Chapter 85 may carry compliance obligations that do not extend to the hand-operated articles covered here.
The principal classification risk for this tariff line is misidentification of motorised or electrically assisted appliances as purely hand-operated; such articles fall within Chapter 85 and are subject to separate compliance review, potentially including BIS certification. A customs re-classification from 8210 00 00 to a Chapter 85 heading triggers retrospective compliance requirements and may result in detention pending the relevant licence. Confirm that the imported goods contain no motor or electrical component before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
