Of power exceeding 30,000 kW but not exceeding 80,000 kW

Hydraulic turbines of power exceeding 30,000 kW up to 80,000 kW

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8410 13 20 (hydraulic turbines of power exceeding 30,000 kW but not exceeding 80,000 kW) 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. Other machinery in Chapter 84 — particularly power-generating equipment subject to energy-efficiency or electrical-safety frameworks — may carry compliance at adjacent tariff lines; classification against the precise power output and machine type is the principal importer risk.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend across the full heading: hydraulic turbines of different power bands, water wheels, and associated regulators are each separately classified within heading 8410, and some sibling lines may attract requirements not applicable here. Re-classification on customs examination — based on actual power output or functional description — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Confirm the turbine's rated output and configuration against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8410 13 20 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 hydraulic turbine has a power output outside the 30,000 kW to 80,000 kW range?
Turbines below or above this power band fall under separate tariff lines within heading 8410, which may carry distinct compliance obligations, and customs re-classification to those lines triggers retrospective compliance.
