Of plastic

Isolating switches and make-and-break switches, of plastic

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8535 30 10 (isolating switches and make-and-break switches of plastic, for voltages exceeding 1,000 V) 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 electrical switching and protection apparatus under Chapter 85 — including fuses, lightning arresters, and certain low-voltage switchgear — may fall under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.

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

Chapter 85 contains numerous tariff lines for switching apparatus where BIS Quality Control Orders apply, particularly for low-voltage switchgear and allied equipment; a marginal difference in rated voltage, material composition, or functional classification can move a product into a covered line. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify rated voltage, switching function, and material specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8535 30 10 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.

Switches of different materials or lower voltage ratings are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 85 and may attract BIS Quality Control Order compliance requirements.
