Metal-forming machine-tools, other than numerically controlled
HSN 8462 29 00 (other metal-forming machine-tools — forging, hammering, or die-forging machines not elsewhere specified) 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 forging or die-forging machines under sibling tariff lines within heading 8462 may attract distinct compliance obligations, and certain capital goods imports under Chapter 84 are subject to DGFT end-use conditions.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: numerically controlled metal-forging machines are separately classified within heading 8462 and may carry compliance that does not extend to this residual line. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Verify that the machine's control type, function, and intended use are precisely matched to the 8-digit tariff description before filing the bill of entry.
