Isoprene rubber (IR)

Isoprene rubber (IR), synthetic, in primary forms or strip

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4002 60 00 (Isoprene rubber, IR) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other synthetic rubber grades classified within Chapter 40 — or rubber articles and compounded mixtures — may attract compliance obligations depending on form, composition, and end-use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to isoprene rubber in primary forms, plates, sheets, or strip; compounded rubber, vulcanised articles, and certain automotive-grade rubber products elsewhere in Chapter 40 carry distinct obligations. Customs re-classification — for instance, if the product is assessed as a compounded or pre-vulcanised preparation — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the exact physical form and compounding status of the shipment against the tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance here.
