For switches having rating above 15 amps, high rupturing capacity or rewireable
Fuses for high-voltage switches above 15 amps, HRC or rewireable
HSN 8535 10 20 (fuses for switches rated above 15 amps — high rupturing capacity or rewireable type — for circuits exceeding 1,000 volts) 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 electrical switchgear and protective apparatus within Chapter 85 may fall under BIS Quality Control Orders; classification accuracy against the precise product specification is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 85 switchgear family: circuit-breakers, disconnectors, and certain fuse combinations for high-voltage circuits are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders at neighbouring tariff lines. Re-classification on customs examination — where the officer determines the product belongs to a covered line — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate of conformity. Verify voltage rating, interrupting capacity, and product construction against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
