Parts and accessories of machine tools, for working metals

Parts and accessories of metal-working machine tools

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8466 93 10 (parts and accessories of machine tools for working metals) 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. Importers should note that the complete machine tools under headings 8456 to 8461 may themselves carry compliance obligations distinct from those applicable to parts.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: parts that are equally suitable for machine tools outside headings 8456 to 8461 may be re-classified to a different subheading under heading 8466, or to a chapter-level residual entry, triggering retrospective duty recovery and detention pending re-classification. Intended use and the specific machine type to which the part is principally fitted are the decisive classification criteria; documentary evidence of that link should accompany each shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8466 93 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 parts are for machine tools outside headings 8456 to 8461?

Parts principally suited to machines under headings 8462 to 8465 fall under a separate subheading within heading 8466 and must be classified accordingly, which may carry different duty or compliance implications.
