Parts of mineral sorting, crushing, grinding, and moulding machinery
HSN 8474 90 00 (parts of machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing, or moulding mineral substances and solid mineral fuels) 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. Complete machinery units under Chapter 84 heading 8474 may attract separate classification considerations; parts that are also identifiable as general mechanical components could be assessed under a different heading.
Parts classified under 8474 90 00 must be genuinely principal-use-specific to the parent machinery family; a part that is equally suitable for general industrial machinery may be re-classified by customs to a more specific parts heading elsewhere in Chapter 84, triggering retrospective duty and potential detention. Packing lists and technical specifications should explicitly identify the parent machine type to anchor the classification. Misclassification of complete sub-assemblies as mere parts is a recurring examination flag.
