Fixed resistors, other than carbon composition or wirewound

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8533 29 29 (other fixed resistors — not carbon composition, not wirewound) 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. Certain other electrical resistors and electronic components under Chapter 85 do fall within BIS Quality Control Orders; classification at the correct 8-digit line is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all resistor types within heading 8533: wirewound and carbon-composition fixed resistors, as well as rheostats, potentiometers, and variable resistors, are classified on separate tariff lines and some carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification by customs on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify resistor technology, construction type, and intended application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8533 29 29 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 resistor is wirewound or carbon composition in construction?
Wirewound and carbon-composition fixed resistors are classified on separate tariff lines within heading 8533 and may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations, making re-classification by customs a trigger for retrospective compliance.
