Vertical

Vertical broaching machines for metal removal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8461 30 10 (vertical broaching 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 gear-cutting variants — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance; classification by machine type and axis orientation determines the applicable line.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 84 machinery landscape: horizontal broaching machines are separately classified, and CNC machine-tools within the same heading may attract compliance obligations under different tariff lines. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if the machine's primary function is determined to differ — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the machine's operational axis, tooling method, and CNC status against the customs tariff before relying on this absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8461 30 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 broaching machine is horizontal rather than vertical?

Horizontal broaching machines are classified under a separate tariff line within heading 8461, and importers should verify whether that line carries any compliance obligations before shipment.
