For a voltage of 11 kV
High-voltage circuit protection apparatus rated at 11 kV
HSN 8535 21 11 (electrical switching and protection apparatus for a voltage of 11 kV) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other voltage ranges or apparatus types within Chapter 85 — including switchgear, circuit-breakers, and related high-voltage equipment at different voltage thresholds — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
Chapter 85 hosts a range of electrical switching and protection apparatus across multiple voltage bands; classification at the correct voltage threshold is essential because adjacent tariff lines covering different voltage ratings or apparatus types may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification by customs to a covered tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending production of the relevant conformity documentation. Verify the rated voltage, apparatus type, and end-use specification against the customs tariff before concluding that no compliance applies.
