Of a cylinder capacity exceeding 100 cc but not exceeding 250 cc
Marine diesel engines, 100 cc to 250 cc cylinder capacity
HSN 8408 10 92 (marine propulsion diesel engines of cylinder capacity exceeding 100 cc but not exceeding 250 cc) 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. Larger marine diesel engines and compression-ignition engines for vehicles or industrial use, classified elsewhere in Chapter 84, may carry distinct compliance obligations depending on cylinder capacity and intended application.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to marine engines outside this capacity band, nor to compression-ignition engines intended for automotive or industrial use, which may fall under separate tariff lines within Chapter 84 that attract Quality Control Order coverage. Customs re-classification — triggered by a discrepancy in declared cylinder capacity or intended use — carries the risk of detention pending retrospective compliance. Confirm the engine's cylinder displacement, propulsion application, and end-use documentation before filing the bill of entry.
