Sawing machines for stone, ceramics, concrete, or glass (other types)
HSN 8464 10 90 (other sawing machines for working stone, ceramics, concrete, asbestos-cement, or like mineral materials, or for cold working glass) 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 those incorporating electrical components subject to safety standards — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all sawing or cutting machines under Chapter 84: machine-tools with integrated electrical drive systems, or those separately classifiable as woodworking machines, may attract BIS or other regulatory obligations at their respective tariff lines. Re-classification on customs examination — for example, if the machine is assessed as a general-purpose cutting tool rather than a stone or glass sawing machine — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the machine's intended material, drive configuration, and technical specifications against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
