Compliance steps

1
Obtain EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before filing the bill of entry. The authorisation is required under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and must be produced at customs to demonstrate compliance with the EPR regime for imported electric fans and their parts.

2
If the importing entity qualifies as a micro enterprise under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, retain and produce the Udyam registration certificate confirming micro-enterprise status. The EPR authorisation requirement does not apply to such enterprises, but the exemption must be documented at the bill of entry stage.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the EPR obligation applies only to complete fan units and not to parts. Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 extends EPR to parts of electric fans, meaning importers of components such as motors, blades, and housings under HSN 8414 90 40 must hold current CPCB EPR authorisation unless the micro-enterprise exemption is validly established and documented.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 90 40 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts of industrial fans and blowers under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, with EPR authorisation required under Schedule I as notified by G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers of parts under HSN 8414 90 40?

No. The EPR obligation does not apply to micro enterprises as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006; all other importers must hold current CPCB EPR authorisation before clearance.

What happens if an importer cannot produce CPCB EPR authorisation at the bill of entry?

Customs will not grant out-of-charge; the consignment is liable to detention and demurrage pending either production of valid EPR authorisation or documentary proof of the micro-enterprise exemption under the MSMED Act, 2006.
