For a voltage of 132 kV
High-voltage switchgear and protective apparatus rated at 132 kV
HSN 8535 29 21 (electrical switching and protective apparatus for 132 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other apparatus under heading 8535 — particularly circuit-breakers and isolators at different voltage ratings — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of a Quality Control Order at this tariff line does not insulate importers from compliance risk across Chapter 85 broadly: closely related high-voltage apparatus classified under different sub-headings of heading 8535 may attract BIS mandatory certification. Customs re-classification on examination — for example, from this residual line to a product-specific line covering circuit-breakers or disconnectors — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certificate. Confirm the precise apparatus type and voltage rating against the customs tariff schedule before declaring under this line.
