Safety seat belts for motor vehicles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8708 21 00 (safety seat belts for motor vehicles) 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 parts and accessories of motor vehicles under Chapter 87 may carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations depending on the specific component type, making precise product classification essential.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of a Quality Control Order at this tariff line does not reflect the broader Chapter 87 landscape, where numerous automotive parts and accessories are subject to BIS certification; a customs officer re-classifying a consignment to a covered heading triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Importers should verify that the product does not fall within a notified category of automotive safety components under any active or prospective Quality Control Order before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Several parts and accessories of motor vehicles within Chapter 87 are covered by BIS Quality Control Orders, and re-classification to a covered tariff line triggers retrospective compliance including detention pending BIS certification.
