Presses, crushers and similar beverage-manufacturing machinery

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8435 10 00 (presses, crushers and similar machinery used in the manufacture of wine, cider, fruit juices or similar beverages) 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. Importers should note that Chapter 84 contains numerous machinery tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations, and misclassification into or out of heading 8435 can expose an importer to retrospective duties.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Chapter 84 is one of the most densely regulated chapters in the Indian customs tariff; while heading 8435 itself carries no current Quality Control Order, neighbouring headings covering general industrial machinery, food-processing equipment, or electrically driven appliances may attract BIS compliance or other agency notifications. Re-classification by customs — for instance, where a multi-function machine is assessed as falling under a different heading — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the technical specification and primary function of the equipment against the tariff descriptor before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8435 10 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the machinery also performs functions covered by a different Chapter 84 heading?

A multi-function machine classified under a heading that carries a BIS Quality Control Order would require the corresponding IS-standard certification before import, making accurate functional classification the decisive step.
