Articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9504 20 00 (articles and accessories for billiards of all kinds) 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 tariff lines within Chapter 95 — covering video game consoles, coin-operated amusement machines, and sports requisites — may carry distinct compliance obligations; classification of the specific article is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Chapter 95 is a broad chapter encompassing toys, games, and sports requisites, and several of its tariff lines are subject to Quality Control Orders or other regulatory requirements that do not extend to billiards articles. If customs re-classifies an imported article to a different heading within Chapter 95 — for example, as a general game accessory or a sports requisite — retrospective compliance and detention pending the relevant clearance may follow. Confirm that the product specification, including materials and intended use, squarely matches the billiards articles and accessories description before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9504 20 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 article is a general game or sports accessory rather than a billiards article?

Reclassification to another tariff line within Chapter 95 may attract a Quality Control Order or other compliance obligation, triggering retrospective compliance on customs examination.
