Tyres with metal framework
Solid or cushion tyres with metal framework, of rubber
HSN 4012 90 30 (Tyres with metal framework) 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. Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres within Chapter 40 may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations; precise classification of the tyre type is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 40 tyre family: retreaded pneumatic tyres and used pneumatic tyres are separately classified and may attract Quality Control Order coverage or other regulatory requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, from solid/metal-framework tyres to retreaded pneumatic tyres — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm the precise construction, intended use, and rubber-to-metal specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
