Jigs and fixtures for machine tools

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8466 30 20 (jigs and fixtures — special attachments for machine tools) 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 parts and accessories for machine tools classified elsewhere in Chapter 84 may carry distinct compliance requirements depending on the machine type or intended application.

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

Jigs and fixtures occupy a specific subheading within the broader family of machine-tool attachments under Chapter 84; items that function primarily as tool holders, self-opening dieheads, or dividing heads are classified under adjacent tariff lines that may attract separate treatment. Re-classification by customs on examination — for example, from a fixture to a work-holder or to a complete machine attachment — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the functional description and technical specification of the goods against the tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8466 30 20 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 product is a tool holder or dividing head rather than a jig or fixture?
Tool holders and dividing heads are classified under separate subheadings within Chapter 84 and should be verified against the tariff, as those lines may carry distinct compliance requirements.
