Defence-Grade Precision Parts

Defence-related precision machined parts typically export under HS 84879000 (machine parts) or HS 73269099 (other articles of iron/steel), depending on function. Defence-related exports may also require additional export licensing or clearance beyond standard HS classification, so confirm this with your compliance team given the sensitivity of the end use.

Defence precision parts generally fall under the same HSN codes as standard machined components (8487/7326) and attract 18% GST domestically. Exports are zero-rated under an LUT, but confirm any defence-specific export compliance requirements separately from the standard tax treatment, since these are governed by different regulations.

Full heat/batch traceability from raw material receipt through machining to the finished part is standard; every component should be traceable back to its specific material certificate. This is more rigorous than standard commercial machining traceability and should be confirmed explicitly, including how records are retained and for how long.

Pricing reflects both the machining complexity and the additional documentation, inspection and traceability overhead defence-grade work requires. It's typically higher than equivalent commercial-grade parts because of this added quality burden, not because of different machining processes.
