Vulcanised rubber thread and cord, other types

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4007 00 90 (Other vulcanised rubber thread and cord) 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 articles with textile covering or specific end-use specifications — such as cord used in tyre reinforcement — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 40 that carry distinct 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 all vulcanised rubber products: textile-covered rubber thread, rubber cord used in tyre or conveyor-belt manufacture, and compounded rubber articles elsewhere in Chapter 40 each attract their own classification and may carry Quality Control Order coverage. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the product's construction, cross-section, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4007 00 90 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the rubber thread or cord is covered with textile material?

Textile-covered rubber thread is classified separately within Chapter 40 and may attract distinct compliance obligations; re-classification by customs to the more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance.
