Servo-presses

Servo-presses for working metal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8462 63 00 (Servo-presses) 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 machine-tools under Chapter 84 — particularly presses classified by their working method (forging, bending, shearing) or by power source — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Servo-presses are precisely defined by their servo-drive mechanism; a unit that is functionally a hydraulic or mechanical press but marketed as servo-assisted may be re-classified on customs examination to a different tariff line within heading 8462, triggering retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Confirm that the technical specification, drive type, and operational description in the commercial invoice align with the servo-press classification before shipment. Misclassification risk within heading 8462 is the principal compliance exposure at this tariff line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8462 63 00 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 press operates by hydraulic or mechanical means rather than servo-drive?
Hydraulic and mechanical presses are classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8462, which may carry different duty rates and compliance requirements, making accurate technical classification essential.
