Pulley tackle and hoists powered by electric motor
HSN 8425 31 00 (pulley tackle and hoists powered by electric motor) 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 lifting and hoisting equipment within Chapter 84 — including skip hoists, winches, capstans, and certain industrial jacks — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all electrically powered lifting equipment: hoists integrated into cranes or overhead travelling cranes, and equipment classified as industrial safety devices, may attract separate Chapter 84 compliance or electrical safety requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the declared goods are found to constitute a complete crane assembly rather than a standalone hoist — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise product configuration and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
