Dividing heads and other special attachments for machine tools

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8466 30 90 (other dividing heads and 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other parts and accessories under Heading 8466 — such as work holders or tool holders for hand-held tools — may be classified on separate tariff lines, some of which carry distinct compliance obligations.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader heading: accessories and attachments principally designed for specific regulated machine categories within Chapter 84 may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations when the end-machine itself is covered. Re-classification by customs to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant requirement. Confirm that the attachment's principal machine compatibility is correctly described in shipping documentation before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8466 30 90 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 attachment is a work holder or tool holder rather than a dividing head or special attachment?
Work holders and tool holders are classified under distinct subheadings of Heading 8466 and should be verified independently, as sibling tariff lines within Chapter 84 may carry separate compliance obligations.
