Machine-tools for working stone, ceramics, concrete, or glass
HSN 8464 90 00 (machine-tools for working stone, ceramics, concrete, asbestos-cement or like mineral materials, or for cold working glass — other than sawing machines or grinding or polishing 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 machinery in Chapter 84 — particularly electrical or electronically controlled machine-tools — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all Chapter 84 machinery: sawing machines and grinding or polishing machines for the same mineral materials are separately classified under heading 8464 and may attract distinct treatment on detailed examination. Re-classification by customs to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or conformity certificate. Verify the machine's primary function, feed mechanism, and material-type specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
