Above 66 kV but upto 132 kV

Ceramic electrical insulators rated above 66 kV up to 132 kV

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8546 20 24 (ceramic electrical insulators, above 66 kV up to 132 kV) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other voltage ratings and non-ceramic insulator materials within Chapter 85 may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader heading: ceramic insulators outside the 66 kV–132 kV voltage band, and insulators of glass or other materials under heading 8546, are separately classified and may attract their own requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — based on actual rated voltage or material composition — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify the rated voltage and material specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
