Thread, not covered
Vulcanised rubber thread and cord, not covered by textile
HSN 4007 00 10 (vulcanised rubber thread, not covered by textile) 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. Rubber thread covered with textile and certain rubber articles under Chapter 40 may attract separate compliance; accurate classification against the product's construction is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all vulcanised rubber thread and cord: textile-covered rubber thread is classified separately and may attract distinct requirements, and finished rubber articles intended for automotive or industrial use under Chapter 40 can fall within notified Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Confirm the product's construction — covered or uncovered, and intended end-use — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
