NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8458 99 10 (automatic, multi-spindle bar lathes) 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. Other lathes and turning centres within Chapter 84 may be classified under more specific tariff lines depending on configuration, spindle type, or CNC capability.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Classification of machine tools within Chapter 84 turns on technical specification — spindle count, control type (CNC versus conventional), and the distinction between bar-feed and chucking configurations. A customs re-classification to a different heading within Chapter 84 triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Importers should ensure the commercial invoice and technical datasheet precisely reflect the machine's operating principle and spindle arrangement before filing the bill of entry.
