Roving frames

Roving frames for textile spinning

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8445 20 14 (Roving 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other machinery under Chapter 84 — particularly electrical components integrated into textile machinery — may carry compliance obligations at a more specific tariff line.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all textile machinery: allied machines for preparing textile fibres, or machinery classified under heading 8446 or 8447, may carry distinct requirements depending on specification and end-use. Customs re-classification — for instance, if a roving frame is assessed as a composite machine or its principal function is disputed — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the machine's technical specification and function against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8445 20 14 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 doubling or twisting functions?

Machinery whose principal function is doubling or twisting may be classified under a different tariff line within Chapter 84 and could attract separate compliance or duty treatment on re-classification by customs.
