Horizontal lathes for metal removal, other types
HSN 8458 19 19 (other lathes for removing metal, not numerically controlled) 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. Numerically controlled lathes and turning centres classified elsewhere within heading 8458, as well as other machine tools under Chapter 84, may carry distinct compliance obligations depending on the specific tariff line.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies to the residual category of non-numerically controlled lathes; numerically controlled variants and specialised turning centres are classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8458 and warrant independent verification. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, where a machine is found to be numerically controlled — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Confirm the control type, axis configuration, and intended function of the machine against the customs tariff before importing.
