Of special stainless steel
Bearing balls, needles, and rollers of special stainless steel
HSN 8482 91 13 (bearing balls, needles, and rollers of special stainless steel) 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. Assembled ball or roller bearings and parts classified elsewhere within Chapter 84 may carry distinct compliance obligations; classification of the finished bearing versus its rolling elements is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to unassembled rolling elements — balls, needles, and rollers — of special stainless steel; complete assembled bearings and other bearing parts within Chapter 84 are separately classified and may attract Quality Control Order coverage. Re-classification by customs from rolling elements to a finished bearing or other bearing component triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Confirm the product's form — loose rolling elements versus partially or fully assembled units — against the tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
