Actionable claim involved in or by way of lottery
HSN 9807 50 00 (actionable claim involved in or by way of lottery) 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 specified actionable claims under Chapter 98 — such as betting, gambling, or horse-racing rights — fall under distinct tariff lines and carry their own classification logic; the nature of the underlying claim determines correct classification.
Chapter 98 specified actionable claims are a distinct and narrow category in the Indian customs tariff; the precise legal character of the instrument — lottery, betting right, gambling entitlement — determines which tariff line applies, and misclassification across these lines risks retrospective duty recovery and detention pending re-classification. Importers should obtain a legal opinion on the nature of the actionable claim before filing the bill of entry, as customs examination may re-characterise the instrument and trigger compliance applicable to an adjacent line.
