Parachutes (including dirigible parachutes and paragliders) and parts and accessories thereof
Parachutes, dirigible parachutes, paragliders, and accessories
HSN 8804 00 10 (parachutes, including dirigible parachutes and paragliders, and parts and accessories 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 aircraft and aerospace components within Chapter 88 may attract separate compliance depending on end-use, intended operator category, or defence application.
The absence of a Quality Control Order at this tariff line does not eliminate end-use regulatory exposure: parachutes and paragliders imported for civil aviation use may fall within the Directorate General of Civil Aviation's airworthiness framework, and defence-oriented equipment may require separate clearance independent of the customs tariff. Re-classification on examination — for example, to a rotochute or to a specific parts sub-heading — triggers retrospective compliance. Verify the precise product specification, intended use, and end-user category before relying on the absence of tariff-line compliance.
