Permanent magnets of metal, other than ferrite

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8505 11 90 (permanent magnets of metal — other than ferrite) 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 — including electromagnetic lifting heads, couplings, or clutches — may be classified under distinct tariff lines that carry separate compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: permanent magnets of ferrite metal fall under a sibling line within heading 8505, and electromagnetic devices such as chucks, clamps, and lifting heads each occupy their own tariff lines that may carry compliance. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Confirm that the product's material composition, magnetisation state, and intended function are precisely documented before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8505 11 90 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 permanent magnet is made of ferrite rather than other metal?

Ferrite permanent magnets are classified under a separate sibling line within heading 8505 and may attract distinct compliance obligations; customs re-classification to that line triggers retrospective compliance.
