Other, of a power not exceeding 200 W and for a voltage exceeding 100 V

Tungsten filament lamps, over 100 V, not exceeding 200 W

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8539 22 00 (tungsten filament lamps of a power not exceeding 200 W, for voltages exceeding 100 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Sibling tariff lines within Chapter 85 covering LED light sources, sealed beam units, or discharge lamps may carry distinct compliance obligations; classification by lamp technology and wattage band is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to this power-and-voltage band of tungsten filament lamps; other lamps within heading 8539 — including LED light sources and compact fluorescent lamps — have attracted Quality Control Orders and may require BIS registration before import. Re-classification on customs examination to a covered lamp type triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant BIS licence. Confirm lamp technology, wattage, and operating voltage against the customs tariff before treating this tariff line as the applicable classification.
