Video monitor cathode-ray tubes
Colour cathode-ray tubes for video monitors
HSN 8540 11 20 (video monitor cathode-ray tubes, colour) 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 thermionic valves, tubes, and display devices within Chapter 85 — including colour television picture tubes and flat-panel display components — may attract separate compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 85 family of electron tubes and display devices: colour television picture tubes and certain electronic display modules carry distinct regulatory treatment, and customs re-classification to a covered sibling line triggers retrospective compliance including detention pending the relevant conformity documentation. Confirm the tube's intended application — monitor versus broadcast or consumer television — and verify the precise 8-digit classification before shipment.
