Tyre treads, interchangeable
Interchangeable rubber tyre treads for retreading
HSN 4012 90 50 (interchangeable tyre treads of rubber) 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. Other rubber tyre products within Chapter 40 — including retreaded pneumatic tyres and solid or cushion tyres — may carry distinct compliance obligations, making precise tariff classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 40 rubber tyre heading: retreaded pneumatic tyres and used pneumatic tyres classified elsewhere within heading 4012 carry separate compliance considerations, and misidentification of the product at examination triggers retrospective compliance exposure, including detention pending re-classification. Verify that the goods are genuinely interchangeable tyre treads intended for retreading — not finished retreaded tyres or solid tyres — before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
