For moulding or retreading pneumatic tyres or for moulding or otherwise forming inner tubes
Machinery for moulding or retreading pneumatic tyres and inner tubes
HSN 8477 51 00 (machinery for moulding or retreading pneumatic tyres or for moulding or otherwise forming inner tubes) 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. Other machinery classified within Chapter 84 — particularly equipment incorporating electrical components subject to energy-efficiency or safety regulation — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all rubber- and plastics-working machinery under heading 8477; other subheadings within the same heading may attract BIS or electrical-safety requirements depending on the machine type and its embedded components. Where customs re-examines the declared classification and assigns a more specific tariff line, retrospective compliance obligations — including detention pending the relevant certification — apply immediately. Confirm the machine's precise function, power characteristics, and end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
