Acrylonitrile-butadiene and other synthetic rubber, primary forms or strip

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4002 59 00 (other acrylonitrile-butadiene synthetic rubber — in primary forms or in plates, sheets, or strip) 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. Specific synthetic rubber grades — particularly those used in finished rubber articles or automotive components — may fall under separately classified tariff lines within Chapter 40 that do carry compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to finished or compounded rubber products: vulcanised rubber, rubber articles, and certain automotive-use rubber goods classified elsewhere in Chapter 40 may attract Quality Control Order obligations. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the imported material is assessed as a compounded rubber rather than a primary-form synthetic rubber — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the precise product specification, form, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
