Isolating switches and make-and-break switches, other types
HSN 8535 30 90 (isolating switches and make-and-break switches for voltages exceeding 1,000 V — other than those classified under more specific subheadings) 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 switching apparatus within Chapter 85 — including certain fuses, circuit-breakers, and surge suppressors for high-voltage circuits — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry BIS compliance obligations.
Chapter 85 contains multiple high-voltage switching apparatus tariff lines, several of which are subject to Quality Control Orders; the absence of compliance at this residual line does not extend to apparatus that is more precisely described elsewhere within heading 8535. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, where goods are found to be circuit-breakers or fuses rather than isolating or make-and-break switches — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending the applicable licence or BIS certificate. Confirm the technical product specification and switching function against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
