Self propelled
Self-propelled artillery weapons (guns, howitzers, mortars)
HSN 9301 10 10 (Self-propelled artillery weapons) is classified as Restricted under the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), meaning import is not freely permitted and requires express policy authorisation. No general commercial import channel exists for this tariff line; procurement is effectively confined to sovereign or defence-authorised channels.
- Import authorisation from DGFT
- Policy compliance declaration to CBIC
- 1Confirm that a valid DGFT import authorisation covering self-propelled artillery weapons is obtained before any shipment is dispatched. The ITC (HS) import policy classifies this tariff line as Restricted, and no out-of-charge will be granted without the authorisation on record.ITC (HS) Import Policy — Restricted category, Chapter 93
- 2Upload all mandatory policy-compliance documents in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage and present them for customs verification before out-of-charge. Any bill of entry that has not been routed through the appropriate channel for authorisation will be held by the proper officer pending verification.ITC (HS) Import Policy — Restricted category, Chapter 93
The sole recorded policy fact for this tariff line is its Restricted status under the ITC (HS) import policy; no commercial importer should assume that a general DGFT import licence for arms is sufficient. Self-propelled artillery is sovereign military materiel, and any consignment arriving without an instrument of authorisation expressly covering this CTI faces immediate detention, potential confiscation, and referral to enforcement authorities.
