For motor cycles

Spark-ignition piston engines, 50–250 cc, for motorcycles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8407 32 10 (spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines of 50–250 cc cylinder capacity, for motorcycles) 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. Engines of a different cylinder capacity, or those intended for vehicles other than motorcycles, may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 84 that carry distinct compliance obligations.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not insulate an importer from retrospective risk if customs re-classifies the engine — whether on cylinder capacity grounds (exceeding 250 cc moves the goods to a higher subheading) or on end-use grounds (engines declared for motorcycles but destined for other vehicles). Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the declared cylinder capacity and the intended vehicle type against the technical specification sheet before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8407 32 10 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 engine cylinder capacity exceeds 250 cc?
Engines exceeding 250 cc fall under a higher subheading within Chapter 84 and may attract separate compliance or duty treatment; importers should verify the correct tariff line against the engine's certified technical specification.
