Vibrators

Hand-held vibrators with self-contained motor

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8467 89 20 (Vibrators — hand tools with self-contained electric or non-electric motor) 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-held power tools under Chapter 84 — particularly pneumatic or hydraulic variants, or tools subject to electrical safety standards — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: hand-held power tools in Chapter 84 occupy several closely related headings distinguished by power source and functional description, and customs re-classification to a line covered by a Quality Control Order triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certification. Verify the product's power source, output specification, and intended industrial use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8467 89 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 hand tool is pneumatic or hydraulic rather than motor-driven?

Pneumatic and hydraulic hand tools are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 84 and may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on the applicable Quality Control Order in force at the time of import.
