Presses for the manufacture of particle board or fibre building board of wood or other ligneous materials and other machinery for treating wood or cork
Presses and machinery for wood or cork treatment
HSN 8479 30 00 (presses for the manufacture of particle board or fibre building board of wood or other ligneous materials, and other machinery for treating wood or cork) 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 classified within Chapter 84 — particularly electrical or pressure-bearing equipment — may attract BIS or statutory compliance under sibling tariff lines.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all machinery under Chapter 84: equipment incorporating boilers, pressure vessels, or integrated electrical components may be reclassified by customs into a heading that does carry a Quality Control Order or electrical safety certification requirement. Reclassification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Verify that the declared equipment specification — function, power source, principal component — precisely matches this tariff line before relying on the absence of compliance.
