Machines for treating metal, including electric wire coil-winders

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8479 81 00 (machines for treating metal, including electric wire coil-winders) 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 equipment or machinery with embedded electronics — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.

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: machines with integrated electrical or electronic control systems, or those meeting the description of a more specific tariff heading, may attract Bureau of Indian Standards or Wireless Planning and Coordination requirements upon re-classification. A customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify that the machine's principal function and construction match the 8479 81 00 descriptor precisely before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8479 81 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the machine incorporates significant electrical or electronic control components?

Machinery where the electrical or electronic function becomes the principal characteristic may be re-classified to a more specific heading within Chapter 84 or Chapter 85 that carries its own compliance obligations, triggering retrospective requirements on customs examination.
