Sewing machine needles, other than specified types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8452 30 90 (sewing machine needles, other) 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. Needles for industrial or specialised sewing equipment may be classified under a sibling tariff line within heading 8452, making precise product specification the principal importer risk.

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 needle types within heading 8452; a more specific tariff line for a particular needle category could attract different treatment on customs examination. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending resolution. Verify needle type, gauge, intended machinery, and end-use specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8452 30 90 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 needles are for a more specifically classified sewing machine type?

Needles designed for a particular category of sewing equipment may fall under a more specific tariff line within heading 8452, and re-classification by customs to that line triggers retrospective compliance review.
