Compressed air grease guns, lubricators and similar appliances
Pneumatic grease guns, lubricators, and similar appliances
HSN 8467 89 10 (compressed air grease guns, lubricators and similar appliances) 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 hand tools under Chapter 84 — particularly pneumatic tools with self-contained electric motors or hydraulic actuation — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: pneumatic grease guns that incorporate an electric motor, or tools that are hydraulically rather than pneumatically actuated, may be classified under a different tariff line within heading 8467 that attracts compliance. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the precise actuation mechanism and power source against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
