For filtering or purifying beverages other than water
Machinery for filtering or purifying beverages other than water
HSN 8421 22 00 (machinery for filtering or purifying beverages other than water) 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 filtering and purifying machinery under Chapter 84 — particularly equipment for water purification or for use in food-contact applications regulated at the end-use stage — may attract compliance requirements under sibling tariff lines.
Classification at the 8-digit level turns on the specific liquid being processed: machinery designed for water purification is classified separately within heading 8421 and may carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Equipment imported under this tariff line but used — or re-designated — for water treatment is a known re-classification risk that customs examiners flag, exposing the importer to detention pending retrospective compliance. Verify the declared end-use and technical specification against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
