Electronic integrated circuits, other than processors, controllers, memories, or amplifiers

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8542 39 00 (other electronic integrated 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 integrated circuit types within Chapter 85 — including processors, controllers, memories, and amplifiers — are classified under dedicated tariff lines that may carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: integrated circuits with specific functional identities — microprocessors, microcontrollers, flash memory, or signal amplifiers — belong to dedicated subheadings within heading 8542, some of which attract compliance. Re-classification by customs on examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and detention pending resolution. Verify the functional description, die architecture, and intended application against the customs tariff before declaring under this residual line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8542 39 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 integrated circuit is a processor, controller, memory, or amplifier?

Those functional types are classified under dedicated subheadings within heading 8542 and may attract distinct compliance requirements; re-classification by customs to the more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance.
