NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4014 90 90 (other hygienic or pharmaceutical articles of vulcanised 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. Certain rubber articles within Chapter 40 — particularly those meeting the definition of medical devices or those subject to a specific Quality Control Order — are classified under sibling tariff lines that do carry compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The residual nature of this tariff line — "other" within "other" — means misclassification risk is elevated: articles that function as medical devices may attract CDSCO oversight under a more specific classification, and rubber contraceptives or feeding teats are separately enumerated within heading 4014. Customs re-classification to a more specific tariff line triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm that the product specification and intended use align with the residual category before filing the bill of entry.
