Mounts and heads

Mounts and heads for scent sprays and similar toilet sprays

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9616 10 20 (mounts and heads for scent sprays and similar toilet sprays) 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. Complete assembled scent sprays or toilet sprays classified elsewhere within Chapter 96, or spray components containing cosmetic preparations that engage Chapter 33, may attract different treatment.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to the mechanical mounts and heads as discrete components; importers who bring in complete spray assemblies or units pre-filled with fragrance or cosmetic product risk re-classification into a line that does carry compliance obligations. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Confirm that the product being imported is the mechanical component alone, not an assembled or filled unit.
