Mixtures of natural and synthetic rubber, other forms

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4002 80 90 (other mixtures of natural rubber with 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Finished rubber articles and certain compounded rubber products within Chapter 40 — particularly those used in automotive or industrial applications — may attract compliance under sibling headings.

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 all products within Chapter 40: compounded rubber, vulcanised rubber articles, and rubber intended for specific end-uses (such as automotive components or industrial seals) may be classified under headings that carry Quality Control Order obligations. Customs re-classification — for instance, where a mixture is assessed as a finished or semi-finished article rather than a primary-form input — triggers retrospective compliance and detention risk. Verify the product's physical form, composition ratio, and intended use against the customs tariff before import.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4002 80 90 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the rubber mixture is imported as a finished or fabricated article rather than in primary form?

Finished or fabricated rubber articles are classified under later headings within Chapter 40 and may attract Quality Control Order compliance or other regulatory requirements depending on the specific product form and end-use.
