Machines for assembling electric lamps, tubes, valves, or flash-bulbs in glass envelopes
HSN 8475 10 00 (machines for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes or valves or flash-bulbs in glass envelopes) 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 electrical machinery and equipment under Chapter 85 — may carry compliance obligations where the end-product being manufactured is itself subject to a Quality Control Order.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies to the assembly machine itself, not to the lamps, tubes, valves, or flash-bulbs it produces — many of which are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders under Chapter 85. If customs re-examines the import and reclassifies the equipment under a more specific machinery heading, retrospective compliance obligations and detention pending re-classification may follow. Confirm the precise functional description and intended use of the machine against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
