Compliance steps

1
Verify and obtain a valid Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before filing the bill of entry, if the imported goods are electrical or electronic hand-held tools (e.g. saws) listed under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. Large-scale stationary industrial tools are expressly excluded from the EPR obligation.

2
Confirm whether the importing entity qualifies as a micro enterprise under the MSME Development Act, 2006; if so, the EPR authorisation requirement does not apply and a declaration of micro-enterprise status should be uploaded in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry in lieu of the CPCB EPR authorisation.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the EPR carve-out for large-scale stationary industrial tools covers all machinery-chapter hand-held power tools. The carve-out is narrow: only large-scale stationary industrial tools are excluded; hand-held electric saws and analogous portable electric tools remain within Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and importing without a current CPCB EPR authorisation exposes the consignment to detention and confiscation under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8467 29 00 require BIS certification?

No; no BIS Quality Control Order covers this residual hand-held power tools tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation regime under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, for electrical or electronic tools within Schedule I.

Which products under HSN 8467 29 00 are exempt from the CPCB EPR authorisation requirement?

Large-scale stationary industrial tools are explicitly excluded from the EPR obligation under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022; micro enterprises as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006 are also exempt from the EPR authorisation requirement.

What happens if an importer files the bill of entry without a valid CPCB EPR authorisation for covered electrical tools?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import, and the proper officer will not grant out-of-charge until the EPR authorisation is produced; continued non-compliance may attract confiscation and monetary penalty under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
