Clutches and parts thereof
Clutches and parts thereof for motor vehicles
HSN 8708 93 00 (Clutches and parts thereof) 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 separate tariff lines that do carry compliance; classification accuracy against the specific component type is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all automotive components within heading 8708: certain other parts and accessories of motor vehicles under Chapter 87 are subject to Quality Control Orders and BIS certification requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a declared clutch assembly is determined to fall under a more specific or differently regulated sub-heading — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the precise component description and intended vehicle application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
