For stone and mineral

Crushing or grinding machines for stone and mineral

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8474 20 10 (crushing or grinding machines for stone and mineral) 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. Other machinery under Chapter 84 — particularly equipment for processing mineral fuels, ceramics, or cement — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

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

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: crushing and grinding machines designed for ore processing, construction minerals, or ceramic raw materials share Chapter 84 with equipment that does attract compliance — including machinery for agglomerating solid mineral fuels and machines for forming foundry moulds. A customs re-classification on examination to a line that carries compliance triggers retrospective obligations and detention pending resolution. Confirm the machine's intended use and the precise tariff description before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8474 20 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 crushing or grinding machine is designed for a different mineral application such as cement or ceramic paste?
Machinery primarily designed for agglomerating or shaping cement, ceramic paste, or mineral fuels may be classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 84 that carries its own compliance requirements.
