For cold storage
Prefabricated buildings for cold storage
HSN 9406 90 20 (prefabricated buildings for cold storage) 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. Other prefabricated building types classified within Chapter 94 — or structures incorporating refrigeration machinery assessed under Chapter 84 — may attract separate compliance obligations.
The primary importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: a cold-storage structure supplied with integral refrigeration equipment may be re-assessed by customs as a refrigeration unit under Chapter 84, triggering retrospective compliance and potential detention. Additionally, prefabricated buildings of steel or other specific materials may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 94 that carry distinct duty or compliance treatment. Verify the product's material composition, supply scope, and intended use against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.
