Tubular or bifurcated rivets
Tubular or bifurcated rivets of base metal
HSN 8308 20 00 (tubular or bifurcated rivets of base metal) 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 fastener and hardware articles within Chapter 83 — or solid rivets classified elsewhere — may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on their specific form and intended use.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to tubular or bifurcated rivets; solid rivets and structural fasteners are classified under different headings and may carry their own requirements. If customs re-classifies the goods on examination — for instance, treating a product as a solid rivet or a structural component — retrospective compliance obligations and detention pending re-classification can follow. Importers should verify product geometry, material composition, and intended application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
