Machinery for extraction or preparation of animal or vegetable fats or oils

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8479 20 90 (other machinery for the extraction or preparation of animal or fixed vegetable or microbial fats or oils) 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 machinery under Chapter 84 that incorporates pressure vessels, electrical components, or food-contact materials may be subject to compliance under sibling tariff lines with more specific classification.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all machinery within Chapter 84: equipment classified more specifically — such as centrifuges, presses, or filtering apparatus separately enumerated elsewhere in the chapter — may attract distinct Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification on examination by customs triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the machine's principal function and technical specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
