Of a power not exceeding 5,000 kW
Gas turbines of output not exceeding 5,000 kW
HSN 8411 81 00 (gas turbines of a power not exceeding 5,000 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other machinery and mechanical appliances under Chapter 84 — including turbo-jets and turbo-propellers — may attract separate compliance depending on the specific tariff line.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all gas turbine classifications: turbo-jets and turbo-propellers are separately classified within heading 8411, and gas turbines exceeding 5,000 kW fall under a distinct tariff line, each of which warrants independent verification. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, a determination that the unit exceeds the power threshold — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the rated output specification against the manufacturer's technical documentation before relying on classification under this line.
