Accumulator cases made of hard rubber and separators
Accumulator cases of hard rubber and separators for electric accumulators
HSN 8507 90 10 (accumulator cases made of hard rubber and separators) 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. Complete electric accumulators and battery packs classified elsewhere in Chapter 85 may carry Quality Control Order compliance; accurate parts-versus-finished-goods classification is the principal importer risk.
This tariff line covers discrete parts — hard-rubber cases and separators — rather than finished accumulator assemblies; a customs examiner who determines that the goods constitute a complete or substantially complete accumulator may re-classify the consignment to a finished-goods heading within Chapter 85 that does carry compliance obligations. Re-classification triggers retrospective compliance, detention pending the relevant certificate, and potential duty recovery. Importers should retain clear technical documentation — material specifications, absence of electrodes, electrolyte, and terminal connections — to defend the parts classification at examination.
