Coin sorting, counting, and wrapping machines

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8472 90 40 (coin sorting machines, coin-counting or wrapping machines) 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 office machines under heading 8472 — particularly automatic banknote dispensers — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations under Chapter 84.

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 closely related equipment: automatic banknote dispensers and currency-handling machines classified elsewhere within heading 8472 may attract Reserve Bank of India or other regulatory approvals depending on end-use. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where a machine handles both coins and banknotes — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Importers should confirm the machine's functional scope precisely against the tariff description before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8472 90 40 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 machine also dispenses or processes banknotes?
Machines primarily designed to dispense banknotes are classified under a separate tariff line within heading 8472 and may attract additional compliance obligations; customs may re-classify a multi-function unit to the more specific line, triggering retrospective requirements.
