Unvulcanised rubber articles and shapes, other forms
HSN 4006 90 90 (other forms and articles of unvulcanised rubber — rods, tubes, profile shapes, discs, rings, and similar) 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 products and rubber articles destined for specific end-uses within Chapter 40 may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations, making classification accuracy the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to vulcanised rubber counterparts or rubber articles with specific end-use designations — certain finished rubber goods within Chapter 40 are subject to BIS Quality Control Orders that attach to the product's form and function after vulcanisation. Re-classification on customs examination to a covered tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certificate. Confirm that the imported goods are genuinely unvulcanised and that their physical form matches the declared tariff line before shipment.
