Compliance steps

1
Obtain EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing electrical or electronic sewing machine parts falling under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The authorisation must be current and available for verification at the bill-of-entry stage. Large-scale stationary industrial tools are excluded from this requirement.

2
If claiming the micro-enterprise exemption from EPR, upload documentary evidence of registration as a micro-enterprise under the MSME Development Act, 2006 (Udyam registration) to substantiate the exemption claim at the bill of entry. Absence of supporting documentation exposes the consignment to detention pending CPCB compliance verification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the EPR obligation applies only to complete sewing machines and not to electrical or electronic parts and sub-assemblies. Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 captures electrical and electronic equipment including parts thereof; importers of motors, control boards, or electronic modules classified here must hold EPR authorisation unless the micro-enterprise carve-out is formally documented — a blanket assertion of exemption without Udyam registration evidence will not satisfy customs verification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8452 90 99 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this residual parts tariff line. Import is governed by Central Pollution Control Board Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, for electrical or electronic sewing machine parts, with a carve-out for micro-enterprises under the MSME Development Act, 2006.

Are all sewing machine parts under this HSN subject to EPR authorisation?

Only electrical or electronic parts are within the EPR scope under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022; purely mechanical parts and large-scale stationary industrial tool components are excluded from the requirement.

What qualifies an importer as a micro-enterprise exempt from EPR under this HSN?

Micro-enterprise status is defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006; the importer must hold a valid Udyam registration confirming micro-enterprise classification, and that registration must be presented to substantiate the EPR exemption at the bill of entry.
