DC motors and generators, output not exceeding 750 W
HSN 8501 31 19 (other electric motors and generators of an output not exceeding 750 W) 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. Other tariff lines within Chapter 85 covering electric motors — particularly those in higher output ranges or specific motor types — may carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations, making precise classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all electric motors within Chapter 85: motors of higher rated output, or those classified under specific-use subheadings, may be subject to BIS Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination — based on rated output, motor type, or intended application — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify rated output, motor type (AC or DC), and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
