Compliance steps

1
Verify that the import satisfies all five Policy Conditions (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) of Chapter 89 of the ITC (HS) Schedule before filing the bill of entry. Non-compliance with any single condition is treated as a breach of the Restricted-import policy and may attract consignment detention.

2
Upload any DGFT-mandated licence or authorisation document in e-Sanchit at the bill-of-entry stage and ensure the customs out-of-charge is obtained only after the proper officer confirms policy-condition compliance for Chapter 89.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the residual 'Other' description as an unregulated open-general-licence entry and filing the bill of entry without verifying Chapter 89 policy conditions. All five conditions apply cumulatively; missing even one can trigger a Restricted-import enforcement action, including detention and demurrage while documentary rectification is sought from DGFT.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8907 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers floating structures under this tariff line. Import is governed solely by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, subject to Policy Conditions 1 through 5 of Chapter 89.

Which specific policy conditions of Chapter 89 apply to this tariff line?

Policy Conditions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Chapter 89 of the ITC (HS) Schedule all apply; the importer must confirm compliance with each condition before dispatch and at the bill-of-entry stage.

What happens if one of the Chapter 89 policy conditions is not met at the time of import?

Failure to satisfy any of the five policy conditions renders the import a breach of the Restricted-import policy, exposing the consignment to detention, demurrage, and potential re-export or confiscation under DGFT enforcement.
