Of cathode-ray tubes

Parts of cathode-ray tubes (electron guns, deflection yokes, screens)

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8540 91 00 (parts of 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. Complete cathode-ray tubes and other thermionic or cold-cathode valves and tubes under heading 8540 may attract separate compliance obligations; classification of the specific part is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Parts classified here must be genuinely specific to cathode-ray tubes — electron guns, deflection coils, phosphor screens, and analogous sub-assemblies; parts that serve broader electronic or electrical applications may be re-classified by customs into a more specific Chapter 85 tariff line carrying its own compliance regime. A customs re-classification triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the technical specification and intended use against the customs tariff before treating the absence of compliance at this line as settled.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 8540 91 00 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the import is a complete cathode-ray tube rather than a part?
Complete cathode-ray tubes are classified under a different tariff line within heading 8540 and may attract distinct compliance requirements that do not apply to parts classified here.
