Paint box, an electrical machine with individual functions

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8543 70 34 (Paint box) 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 electrical machines and apparatus under Chapter 85 — particularly those incorporating wireless transmission modules, power supply circuits, or consumer-facing electronics — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry BIS compulsory registration or Wireless Planning and Coordination clearance.

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

Chapter 85 is one of the most actively regulated chapters under India's compulsory certification regime, and the absence of compliance at this specific tariff line does not extend to functionally similar apparatus classified elsewhere within the chapter. A customs re-classification — for instance, to a subheading covering a more specific electrical apparatus — triggers retrospective compliance obligations, including detention pending the relevant certification. Confirm the precise technical specification and functional description of the product against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
