Thread, not covered
Unvulcanised rubber thread, not covered or coated
HSN 4006 90 10 (unvulcanised rubber thread, not covered or coated) 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. Vulcanised rubber thread and cord, and rubber articles destined for automotive or electrical applications, may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 40 that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to vulcanised rubber products or rubber thread that has been covered, braided, or otherwise processed — those fall under separate tariff lines within Chapter 40 and may attract Quality Control Order coverage. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Verify the precise product specification — vulcanisation state, surface treatment, and intended end-use — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
