Labels
Labels of vulcanised rubber, other than hard rubber
HSN 4015 90 20 (labels of vulcanised rubber other than hard 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 40 — particularly gloves and protective clothing accessories of vulcanised rubber — may fall under tariff lines that carry compliance obligations, making precise classification critical.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to related vulcanised rubber articles within Chapter 40: surgical gloves, industrial protective gloves, and certain rubber clothing accessories are subject to separate BIS Quality Control Orders. Customs re-classification of these labels as a different rubber article — based on form, function, or end-use — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending the applicable certification. Verify that the product description, material specification, and declared end-use align precisely with this tariff line before shipment.
