Drawing frames

Drawing frames for textile spinning

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8445 20 11 (Drawing frames) 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 textile machinery under Chapter 84 — particularly machinery for preparing, weaving, or knitting textile fibres — may carry separate compliance obligations depending on the specific heading.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to drawing frames classified under HSN 8445 20 11; other textile spinning or preparatory machinery within Chapter 84 may be subject to distinct requirements. Mis-description of the machine type or function — for example, classifying a combing machine or a roving frame as a drawing frame — can trigger re-classification on examination, with retrospective compliance and detention as consequences. Verify the precise machine specification against the customs tariff before shipment.
