Compliance steps

1
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing hand ironing presses. The product falls under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022; importation without a valid EPR authorisation constitutes a violation of those Rules.

2
If the importing entity qualifies as a micro-enterprise under the MSME Development Act, 2006, document the Udyam registration confirming micro-enterprise status. The EPR authorisation obligation does not apply to such entities, and the exemption claim must be supported by current Udyam registration at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the EPR requirement attaches only to large-scale electrical goods and does not extend to hand ironing presses. Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 explicitly lists iron and other appliances for ironing and clothing care; an importer who is not a micro-enterprise and arrives at the bill-of-entry stage without a current CPCB EPR authorisation faces consignment detention and cannot obtain out-of-charge until the authorisation is verified.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8451 30 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers hand ironing presses under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which mandates Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation for listed electrical and electronic equipment.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers of hand ironing presses?

No. The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 exempt micro-enterprises as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006; all other importers must hold a valid CPCB EPR authorisation before filing the bill of entry.

What happens if an importer cannot produce a valid EPR authorisation at the port?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until CPCB EPR authorisation is verified, and continued non-compliance may attract monetary penalty under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.
