Colour cathode-ray tubes, other than specified kinds
HSN 8540 11 90 (other colour cathode-ray tubes) 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 thermionic, cold cathode, or photo-cathode valves and tubes within Chapter 85 may fall under separately notified tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all valves and tubes within heading 8540: specific sub-categories — including monochrome cathode-ray tubes and television camera tubes — are classified at distinct tariff lines and may attract separate compliance or import restrictions. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the precise technical specification — colour rendering, tube type, and intended application — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of any compliance requirement.
