For coal

Sorting, screening, separating or washing machines for coal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8474 10 10 (sorting, screening, separating, or washing machines for coal) 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. Machinery under Chapter 84 used for processing other mineral substances, or machinery that incorporates electrical safety features subject to separate notification, may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend across the heading: crushing, grinding, or mixing machinery for mineral substances under heading 8474, and certain industrial machinery under Chapter 84 subject to BIS Quality Control Orders, each carry their own regimes. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a machine is used for ore processing rather than coal — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the machine's specific function and end-use against the customs tariff before relying on this tariff line's absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8474 10 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 sorting or screening machinery is intended for ores or stone rather than coal?
Machinery for processing other mineral substances is classified under separate tariff lines within heading 8474, which may attract different compliance requirements, and re-classification by customs to the applicable line triggers retrospective compliance.
