Base metal fittings, fasteners, and accessories, other than rivets or spangles
HSN 8308 90 39 (other base metal clasps, buckles, hooks, eyes, eyelets, and similar fittings — not tubular or bifurcated rivets, beads, or spangles) 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. Certain base metal articles in Chapter 83 that serve structural or safety functions may fall under more specific tariff lines attracting compliance; classification by end-use and form is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all Chapter 83 base metal articles: fittings with electrical functions or safety-critical applications can attract compliance under distinct headings. Re-classification by customs on examination — particularly where the article's functional purpose differs from the declared use — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the precise product specification, material composition, and intended application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
