Glass parts for luminaires and lighting fittings
HSN 9405 91 00 (glass parts for luminaires and lighting fittings) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Complete luminaires and lighting fittings classified elsewhere in Chapter 94 — as finished goods rather than parts — may carry distinct compliance obligations.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: finished luminaires incorporating glass components are classified as complete fittings under Chapter 94 and attract separate compliance scrutiny, including BIS Quality Control Order coverage that applies to certain finished lighting products. Customs examination that re-characterises imported glass parts as finished luminaires triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Confirm that the goods are genuinely unfinished parts — not assembled fittings — before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
