Castors

Castors with mountings of base metal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8302 20 00 (Castors) 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 articles within Chapter 83 — such as automatic door closers or builders' hardware with specific safety applications — may fall under tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: castors incorporating electrical or electronic components may be drawn into Chapter 84 or Chapter 85, each with materially different duty and compliance profiles. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Verify that the product specification — material composition, wheel type, mounting configuration — aligns squarely with the Chapter 83 castors heading before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8302 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.

What changes if the castors incorporate motorised or electronic drive components?

Castors with integral motorised or electronic assemblies may be re-classified under Chapter 84 or Chapter 85, which carry their own duty rates and potentially distinct compliance requirements.
