Latex
Chloroprene synthetic rubber latex, in primary forms
HSN 4002 41 00 (chloroprene synthetic rubber latex) 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 synthetic rubber products within Chapter 40 — particularly those in solid primary forms or in plates, sheets, or strip — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to chloroprene rubber in latex form; solid or compounded rubber articles derived from the same polymer, and finished rubber goods under Chapter 40, are classified separately and may attract Quality Control Order coverage. Customs re-classification — for instance, from latex to a solid primary form — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending any applicable licence. Confirm that the product specification, physical form, and intended use are consistent with the latex tariff line before relying on the absence of compliance.
