NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8308 10 29 (hooks, eyes and eyelets of base metal — other than those separately classified) 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 base metal within Chapter 83 — such as buckles, clasps, or tubular rivets — are classified under distinct tariff lines that may carry separate compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: hooks, eyes, and eyelets intended for specific end-uses — such as garment accessories, footwear, or saddlery hardware — must be assessed against the full Chapter 83 schedule, since a more specific description may attract a different tariff line and its attendant compliance. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the product's material composition, finish, and end-use against the tariff descriptor before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8308 10 29 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 base metal fittings are buckles, clasps, or rivets rather than hooks, eyes, or eyelets?
Buckles, clasps, and tubular or bifurcated rivets fall under distinct subheadings within Chapter 83 and should be assessed independently for applicable compliance obligations.
