Of a kind used in two-wheeled and three- wheeled motor vehicles

Solid or cushion tyres for two- and three-wheeled motor vehicles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4012 90 41 (solid or cushion tyres of rubber for two-wheeled and three-wheeled 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. Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres — separately classified within Chapter 40's heading 4012 — may carry distinct compliance; the precise product form and usage state govern correct classification.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Tyre classification within Chapter 40 is form- and use-specific: retreaded pneumatic tyres, used pneumatic tyres, and tyre treads each occupy distinct tariff lines and some carry BIS Quality Control Order obligations. A customs re-classification from solid or cushion tyres to a retreaded or used pneumatic tyre line triggers retrospective compliance and may result in detention pending the applicable licence. Confirm that the product's construction — solid rubber or cushion type, not retreaded pneumatic — is clearly documented in the technical specification before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4012 90 41 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 tyre is retreaded or used rather than solid or cushion type?
Retreaded and used pneumatic tyres are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 40 and may attract BIS Quality Control Order compliance, making accurate product characterisation essential before import.
