Ball bearings, other than specified types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8482 10 90 (Other ball bearings) 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. Specific categories of ball bearings — such as those classified under more precisely defined subheadings within Chapter 84 — may attract compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

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 bearing types: certain ball or roller bearings with defined dimensional specifications may fall under sibling 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 the bearing type, dimensional series, and intended application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8482 10 90 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 ball bearing falls under a more specific dimensional classification?

More specifically classified ball bearings within heading 8482 may attract a BIS Quality Control Order, and re-classification by customs to such a tariff line triggers retrospective compliance obligations.
