Parts (other than glass inners)

Parts of vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9617 00 90 (parts of vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels, other than glass inners) 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. Complete vacuum flasks and vessels, or parts incorporating glass inners, may be classified differently within Chapter 96 and warrant independent classification review.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to non-glass parts; complete vacuum vessels and glass inner components are separately classified within Chapter 96 and may carry their own requirements. Misclassification — particularly between parts and complete articles — is the principal importer risk, and customs re-classification triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm the precise component description against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
