Fishing reels

Fishing reels for line fishing

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9507 30 00 (Fishing reels) 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. Other goods within Chapter 95 — particularly certain toys and sports articles — may attract BIS Quality Control Order compliance under distinct tariff lines within the same heading.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all sporting and recreational goods within Chapter 95; misclassification of a product as a fishing reel when it is more accurately described under another tariff line within heading 9507 or a related sports-equipment heading can trigger retrospective compliance and detention pending re-classification. Verify the product description, construction, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9507 30 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 product is a fishing rod, fish-hook, or other line fishing tackle rather than a reel?

Those articles are classified under separate tariff lines within heading 9507 and should be verified independently, as compliance status may differ at the tariff-line level.
