Ribbon for typewriters, other than electronic and similar machines
Ribbons for typewriters, other than electronic machines
HSN 9612 10 20 (ribbon for typewriters, other than electronic and similar machines) 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 ribbon or ink-pad products under Chapter 96 — including ribbons for electronic typewriters or ink-pads — are classified at separate tariff lines and should be verified independently.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all ribbon products within Chapter 96: ribbons designed for electronic typewriters or similar printing machines are classified separately and may attract distinct requirements on customs examination. Re-classification on the basis of the ribbon's intended machine type triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending re-assessment. Confirm the machine compatibility specification and fabric or film substrate type against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
