Lathes

Lathes for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, or plastics

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8465 99 10 (Lathes for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, or similar hard materials) 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. Machine-tools under Chapter 84 designed for metalworking, or those incorporating laser or CNC functions, may be classified under distinct headings that carry separate compliance obligations.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to lathes for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, and similar hard materials; lathes for metalworking and numerically controlled machine-tools are classified under separate headings within Chapter 84 and may attract compliance under applicable BIS quality control orders. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, where a declared wood-working lathe is found to have metalworking capability as its primary function — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the machine's intended material and operational specification against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8465 99 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 lathe is designed for metalworking rather than wood or hard materials?
Metalworking lathes fall under a distinct heading within Chapter 84 and may be subject to BIS Quality Control Order compliance, making accurate material-use classification critical before import.
