Having a power handling capacity exceeding 650 kVA but not exceeding 10,000 kVA
Liquid dielectric transformers, 650 kVA to 10,000 kVA
HSN 8504 22 00 (electrical transformers with power handling capacity exceeding 650 kVA but not exceeding 10,000 kVA) is subject to Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) appliance labelling and compliance obligations under the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. Importers must ensure conformance with these Regulations, notified vide Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025, before customs out-of-charge.

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that technical conformance documentation prepared for the export market satisfies India's BEE labelling regime. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026 impose India-specific label content and format requirements; a transformer bearing a CE or other foreign energy mark will not pass BEE scrutiny, and detention at port accrues demurrage and ground rent pending re-labelling or re-export.
