Can sealing compound

Can sealing compound, unvulcanised rubber solution or dispersion

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4005 20 10 (Can sealing compound) 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 unvulcanised compounded rubber products within Chapter 40 — particularly those meeting specific automotive or industrial standards — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations.

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 other compounded rubber forms in Chapter 40: vulcanised rubber articles, rubber for tyres, and rubber compounds subject to Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders are classified separately and carry distinct obligations. Re-classification by customs — for instance, where the compound is presented in a form more consistent with a finished rubber article — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the product's precise physical form, vulcanisation state, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4005 20 10 require any pre-import registration?

Vulcanised rubber compounds and finished rubber articles are classified under separate headings within Chapter 40 and may attract Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order compliance, triggering registration and conformity assessment requirements.
