Synthetic rubber and factice, other grades and forms
HSN 4002 99 90 (other synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils, 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. Specific synthetic rubber grades — particularly those used in automotive or industrial components — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 40 that carry compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this residual tariff line does not extend to more specifically described synthetic rubber grades classified elsewhere in Chapter 40, where certain rubber articles and compounded formulations attract BIS Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination — triggered by product specification, intended use, or processing state — can result in detention pending compliance and retrospective duty recovery. Importers should verify polymer type, form, and end-use against the full Chapter 40 tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
