Parts of vacuum cleaners

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8508 70 00 (parts of vacuum cleaners) 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 vacuum cleaner units and certain other electrical machinery within Chapter 85 may fall under Quality Control Orders that do carry compliance obligations; classification of finished goods versus parts is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this parts tariff line does not extend to finished vacuum cleaners classified elsewhere in heading 8508, which are subject to BIS Quality Control Order scrutiny as complete appliances. Customs re-classification of an imported assembly from a parts line to a finished-goods line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant BIS certificate. Verify that the goods are genuinely sub-assemblies or components — not functionally complete units — before relying on the absence of compliance here.

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Complete vacuum cleaner units are classified under a different tariff line within heading 8508 and may attract BIS Quality Control Order compliance as finished electrical appliances.
