Miniature halogen lamps with fittings
Miniature tungsten halogen lamps with fittings
HSN 8539 21 10 (Miniature halogen lamps with fittings) 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 tungsten halogen and electric filament lamp categories within Chapter 85 — including larger-wattage or sealed-beam variants — may be subject to BIS Quality Control Orders at their respective tariff lines.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all tungsten halogen products within Chapter 85: larger halogen lamps, LED light sources, and sealed-beam lamp units are separately classified and several carry active BIS Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a declared miniature lamp is determined to fall within a different wattage or fitting category — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify wattage rating, fitting type, and intended application against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
