Road rollers upto 5 tons capacity
Road rollers of up to 5 tons capacity
HSN 8429 40 10 (road rollers up to 5 tons capacity) 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. Road rollers above 5 tons capacity, and other self-propelled construction machinery such as graders, excavators, and shovel loaders within Chapter 84, may fall under separate tariff lines with distinct compliance considerations.
The principal risk for this tariff line is misclassification: a road roller whose operating weight exceeds 5 tons belongs to a sibling tariff line, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Importers should confirm the machine's unladen and laden operating weight against the manufacturer's specification sheet before filing the bill of entry. Component-level imports — engines, vibratory drums, or hydraulic assemblies — may themselves attract separate compliance under Chapter 84 subheadings.
