Solid rubber tyres for motor vehicles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4012 90 10 (Solid rubber tyres for motor vehicles) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Pneumatic tyres and retreaded tyres classified elsewhere in Chapter 40 may carry distinct compliance obligations; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Solid rubber tyres for motor vehicles are distinct from pneumatic tyres and retreaded tyres, which occupy separate tariff lines within Chapter 40 and may attract Quality Control Order obligations. A customs re-classification from solid to pneumatic or retreaded tyre categories triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify product construction — solid, cushion, or pneumatic — and intended vehicle application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
