TIME SWITCHES WITH CLOCK OR WATCH MOVEMENT OR WITH SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR

Time switches with clock, watch, or synchronous motor movement

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9107 00 00 (time switches with clock or watch movement or with synchronous motor) 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. Related timing or switching devices classified elsewhere in Chapter 91 or under Chapter 85 (electrical switches and apparatus) may attract distinct compliance obligations depending on their construction and intended use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk for this tariff line is misclassification: a time switch with an integrated electronic control circuit or programmable logic may be re-classified under Chapter 85 (electrical switching apparatus), which carries a heavier compliance regime including potential BIS product certification. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending the applicable licence or certificate. Verify the operative mechanism — mechanical clockwork or synchronous motor versus electronic programmable controller — against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9107 00 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the time switch incorporates an electronic programmable control circuit rather than a mechanical clock or synchronous motor?

A programmable electronic timer or controller may be classifiable under Chapter 85 as electrical switching or control apparatus, which can attract BIS product certification requirements and other compliance obligations not applicable to Chapter 91.
