Steering wheels, columns, boxes and their parts
HSN 8708 94 00 (steering wheels, steering columns and steering boxes; 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 under Chapter 87 may carry compliance depending on the specific component category, so classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all automotive parts and accessories: certain components classified elsewhere within heading 8708 — or falling under related headings covering safety-critical systems — may attract Quality Control Order obligations or type-approval requirements. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Verify the precise component description and intended fitment against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
