Parts of electronic integrated circuits
HSN 8542 90 00 (Parts of 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. Finished electronic integrated circuits classified under the principal headings of Chapter 85 may carry BIS Quality Control Order compliance, and misclassification of a complete circuit as a mere part is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the finished integrated circuits under heading 8542 itself, several of which are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders. A customs re-classification from parts to finished goods — or into specific sub-categories of electronic components within Chapter 85 — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certificate. Verify that the goods meet the precise definition of parts rather than sub-assemblies or complete circuits before relying on the absence of compliance.
