NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4012 90 90 (other solid or cushion tyres, tyre treads, and tyre flaps 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. Retreaded pneumatic tyres and used pneumatic tyres — classified elsewhere within Chapter 40 — carry compliance obligations that do not extend to this residual tariff line.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: retreaded pneumatic tyres and used pneumatic tyres occupy distinct positions within Chapter 40 and attract Quality Control Order coverage; a customs officer who re-characterises the goods to those lines triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify that the product specification — construction type, intended use, and processing state — firmly places the goods in the residual category before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4012 90 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 goods are retreaded or used pneumatic tyres rather than solid tyres, treads, or flaps?

Retreaded and used pneumatic tyres are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 40 that may carry Quality Control Order compliance, making correct classification at entry critical.
