Of an output not exceeding 40 MW
Steam turbines and vapour turbines, output not exceeding 40 MW
HSN 8406 82 00 (steam turbines and other vapour turbines of an output not exceeding 40 MW) 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. Turbines classified elsewhere in Chapter 84 — including those exceeding 40 MW output or turbine parts under a separate heading — may attract distinct compliance obligations.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: a turbine whose rated output exceeds 40 MW belongs to a sibling heading within Chapter 84, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Separately, turbines destined for nuclear applications may engage requirements under atomic energy regulations that sit outside the standard tariff-line framework. Confirm rated output, intended application, and whether the goods include separately classifiable parts before presenting the bill of entry.
