Ultrasonic transducers for industrial and mechanical applications

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8479 89 40 (Ultrasonic transducers) 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. Ultrasonic transducers designed for medical imaging or therapeutic use may fall under a different chapter classification that carries additional compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to ultrasonic transducers classified as machines or mechanical appliances under Chapter 84; transducers incorporated into medical equipment or electro-diagnostic apparatus may be classified under Chapter 90 and attract separate regulatory requirements. Re-classification by customs on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant authorisation. Verify the intended use, technical specification, and end-application of the transducer against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
