Horizontal lathes for metal removal, other types (turret, capstan, copying)
HSN 8458 19 90 (horizontal lathes for metal removal, other than 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 horizontal lathes and turning centres under Chapter 84 may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 84 machinery landscape: numerically controlled lathes and turning centres are separately classified and may attract different duty treatment or, in future, Quality Control Order coverage. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where a machine carries CNC capability — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the machine's control type, output specification, and intended industrial use against the customs tariff before filing.
