Insulating fittings of plastics
Insulating fittings for electrical equipment, of plastics
HSN 8547 20 00 (Insulating fittings of plastics) 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 products within Chapter 85 — particularly finished electrical appliances or equipment incorporating insulating fittings — may carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations at the finished-goods level.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: insulating fittings supplied as part of a finished electrical assembly, or imported in a form that customs re-characterises as a complete appliance component, may be reclassified to a heading that carries a BIS Quality Control Order. Detention pending re-classification and retrospective duty recovery are the practical consequences. Verify that the goods are presented and invoiced strictly as discrete insulating fittings of plastics, not as parts of a specific named appliance.
