Processors and controllers, electronic integrated circuits
HSN 8542 31 00 (processors and controllers, whether or not combined with memories, converters, logic circuits, amplifiers, clock and timing circuits, or other circuits) 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 electronic integrated circuits within Chapter 85 — including certain amplifiers, memories, and other finished electronic subassemblies — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the tariff-line level position; products that incorporate processors into finished goods — such as computing equipment or telecommunications apparatus under other headings within Chapter 85 — may attract BIS Quality Control Order obligations at the finished-product stage. Re-classification by customs, for example from a bare integrated circuit to a finished electronic module, triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending the relevant licence. Confirm the precise product form — bare die, packaged IC, or embedded module — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
