Having a power handling capacity exceeding 10,000 kVA but not exceeding 50,000 kVA
Large power transformers 10,000 to 50,000 kVA
HSN 8504 23 10 (liquid dielectric transformers exceeding 10,000 kVA but not exceeding 50,000 kVA) is subject to Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) appliance labelling and compliance requirements under the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. DGFT policy controls apply as an additional clearance overlay at the bill-of-entry stage.
- Energy label compliance from BEE
- Conformance declaration from importer
- Import documentation from DGFT
- 1Ensure the imported transformer bears an energy label and that the product conforms to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labeling and Compliance) Regulations, 2026. Compliance documentation must be in order at the bill-of-entry stage; non-conforming consignments are liable to detention.BEE Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
- 2Upload all mandatory compliance documents in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Confirm that the product's rated capacity falls within the 10,000 kVA to 50,000 kVA band covered by this tariff line; units exceeding 50,000 kVA fall under a distinct CTI and attract separate classification.BEE Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 dated 26-12-2025
The most common error on this tariff line is importing the transformer before confirming that the specific kVA rating is covered under the Appliance Labeling and Compliance Regulations, 2026 notification. The Regulations were issued on 26 December 2025 and are recent; product families not expressly scheduled under Notification No. 5506/BEE/S&L/AL/2025-26 may face a different compliance pathway, and treating the label requirement as a post-clearance formality invites detention and ground rent pending BEE verification.
