Radiators and parts thereof
Radiators and parts thereof for motor vehicles
HSN 8708 91 00 (Radiators and parts thereof 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 within Chapter 87 may fall under tariff lines that do carry BIS Quality Control Order compliance; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all motor vehicle parts: several categories of automotive components within heading 8708 and neighbouring headings are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders, and a customs re-classification to a covered tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant conformity certificate. Verify the precise product description — radiator assembly versus individual components such as cores or tanks — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
