Parts and accessories for sound recording or reproducing apparatus
HSN 8522 90 00 (other parts and accessories for sound recording or reproducing apparatus, and video recording or reproducing apparatus of headings 8519 or 8521) 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. Specific electronic components within Chapter 85 — particularly finished apparatus under headings 8519 or 8521 — may carry Quality Control Order compliance, making precise classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the finished apparatus these parts serve: sound or video recording and reproducing equipment classified under headings 8519 or 8521 may attract BIS Quality Control Order requirements, and a customs officer who re-classifies an imported assembly as a finished product rather than a part triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending conformity assessment. Verify that the imported goods are unambiguously parts or sub-assemblies — not functional units capable of independent operation — before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
