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