Machinery for preparing or making up tobacco, other
HSN 8478 10 90 (other machinery for preparing or making up tobacco) 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. Certain other machinery classified within Chapter 84 — particularly electrical or safety-rated equipment — may fall under Quality Control Orders that do carry mandatory compliance; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all machinery under Chapter 84: equipment with electrical components or pressure-bearing elements may be separately classified under tariff lines that carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify that the machinery's primary function, technical specification, and chapter classification are accurately documented before relying on the absence of compliance here.
