Ferrite cores

Permanent magnet articles of metal, ferrite cores

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8505 11 10 (Ferrite cores) 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. Other articles within Chapter 85 — particularly finished electromagnetic assemblies or equipment incorporating ferrite cores — may attract product-specific compliance at the assembly level.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies to ferrite cores as discrete components; importers who classify finished electromagnetic devices or sub-assemblies containing ferrite cores under this line risk re-classification to a heading that does carry compliance. Customs examination of the end-use or degree of assembly can trigger retrospective duty recovery and detention pending re-classification. Verify that the goods are unassembled cores and not integrated components of a regulated product before relying on this absence.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8505 11 10 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 ferrite cores are incorporated into a finished electromagnetic device or assembly?

Finished electromagnetic assemblies may be classifiable under a different heading within Chapter 85 that carries product-specific compliance, and customs re-classification to such a heading triggers retrospective compliance obligations.
