Jig boring machines, horizontal

Horizontal jig boring machines for metal removal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8459 49 10 (horizontal jig boring machines) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other machine-tools within Chapter 84 — particularly numerically controlled or CNC variants, or machines designed for specific regulated end-uses — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: horizontal jig boring machines with CNC or numerically controlled features may be classified under a separate heading within Chapter 84, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the machine's control architecture, spindle configuration, and intended operation against the full Chapter 84 tariff schedule before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8459 49 10 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 jig boring machine is numerically controlled?

Numerically controlled boring machines are classified under a distinct heading within Chapter 84 and may attract different tariff treatment or compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to the more specific line triggers retrospective consequences.
