Importability of Air Conditioners: HCFC 22 charged units to be treated as freely importable pending regulatory formulation. Import of Air Conditioners under EXIM Code 8415 is free under ITC (HS) classification even when units are filled with HCFC 22 (R 22); Customs objections requiring import licences for such consignments are overridden. While a GATT compatible regulation for HCFC charged air conditioners is being developed in consultation with the environmental authority, already landed but uncleared consignments shall be treated as freely importable and allowed clearance by Customs.
