Other high rupturing capacity fuses
High rupturing capacity fuses for circuits above 1,000 volts
HSN 8535 10 40 (Other high rupturing capacity fuses, for voltage 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 fuses and switching or protective apparatus within Chapter 85 — particularly those for lower voltage ranges or covered by specific IS standards — may fall under tariff lines that do carry Quality Control Order compliance.
Chapter 85 is one of the more active chapters for Quality Control Orders on electrical apparatus; the absence of compliance at this specific tariff line does not signal a chapter-wide exemption. Re-classification by customs — for example, to a fuse tariff line subject to a notified IS standard — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending conformity documentation. Confirm the voltage rating, rupturing capacity specification, and intended circuit application against the customs tariff before treating this line as the correct classification.
