Injection-moulding machines
Injection-moulding machines for rubber or plastics
HSN 8477 10 00 (injection-moulding machines) 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 or electronic capital goods — may attract separate compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all machinery within heading 8477: machines incorporating significant electrical control systems may be examined against electrical-safety classifications, and any machinery imported under an export-promotion scheme carries its own conditionality. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the applicable licence or certification. Verify the precise machine specification — drive type, control system, output capacity — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
