HSN 8474 10 90 (other sorting, screening, separating or washing machines for mineral substances) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Specific machinery within Chapter 84 — particularly equipment with electrical safety or energy-efficiency implications — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all machinery within Chapter 84: certain mechanically or electrically driven industrial equipment attracts BIS conformity requirements under relevant Quality Control Orders applicable to motors, switchgear, or other integrated electrical components. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a machine is found to incorporate regulated sub-assemblies classified separately — triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the machine's principal function, drive type, and component breakdown against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
