Watertube boilers with a steam production exceeding 45 t per hour
High-capacity watertube steam generating boilers
HSN 8402 11 00 (Watertube boilers with a steam production exceeding 45 t per hour) is subject to Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) appliance labelling and compliance requirements under the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. Importers must ensure conformance with the labelling and compliance framework notified by BEE before out-of-charge at the bill of entry.
- Compliance declaration from BEE
- Energy label from BEE
- 1Ensure the imported watertube boiler bears an energy label and meets the compliance requirements prescribed under the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. Non-compliant consignments are liable to detention at port pending regularisation or re-export.BEE Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
- 2Upload evidence of BEE labelling and compliance conformance in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage before seeking out-of-charge. Verify that the product specifications declared in the compliance documentation match the actual unit being imported.BEE Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that BEE energy-labelling obligations apply only to consumer appliances and not to large industrial boilers. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 extend expressly to this product category; a consignment arriving without a compliant energy label and supporting compliance documentation will be detained at port, and demurrage and ground rent accrue while the importer pursues post-arrival regularisation.
