Manicure or pedicure instruments, other than sets

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8214 20 90 (manicure or pedicure instruments, other than 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. Other articles of cutlery under Chapter 82 — including hair clippers or kitchen cleavers — 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 does not extend to the broader heading: complete manicure or pedicure sets classified elsewhere within heading 8214 may attract separate treatment on examination, and certain personal-care instruments with electrical components migrate to Chapter 85 where compliance requirements differ. Re-classification by customs to a more specific or adjacent tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify that the product specification — individual instrument versus packaged set, manual versus electrically powered — is correctly reflected in the customs entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8214 20 90 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 manicure or pedicure items are imported as a complete set rather than individual instruments?
Complete sets are classified separately within heading 8214 and may attract a different compliance profile; customs examination that determines the goods constitute a set can result in re-classification and retrospective compliance.
