Suspension systems and parts thereof (including shock-absorbers)
Motor vehicle suspension systems and parts, including shock-absorbers
HSN 8708 80 00 (suspension systems and parts thereof, including shock-absorbers, for motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705) 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 under Chapter 87 may be subject to compliance obligations depending on the specific component category and vehicle type.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all parts and accessories within heading 8708: certain component categories — such as braking systems, safety glass, or electrical equipment — falling under sibling tariff lines in Chapter 87 may attract BIS or other regulatory obligations. Re-classification by customs on examination to a more specific or regulated tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant clearance. Verify the precise component description and vehicle fitment against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
