Video control units, other than specified elsewhere

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8543 70 42 (Other video control unit) 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 within Chapter 85 — including certain consumer electronics, transmission equipment, and radio communication devices — may carry BIS Quality Control Order compliance under sibling tariff lines.

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

Chapter 85 is among the most actively regulated chapters under India's BIS Quality Control Order regime; a video control unit that incorporates transmission, reception, or display functions may be re-classified by customs into a tariff line that does carry mandatory BIS certification. Re-classification on examination triggers detention pending the relevant licence and retrospective duty recovery. Product specification — intended use, signal type, integrated functions — should be verified against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
