Diving suits

Diving suits of vulcanised rubber, for all purposes

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4015 90 91 (diving suits 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles of apparel and clothing accessories of vulcanised rubber — including gloves, mittens, and mitts — falling within Chapter 40 may attract distinct compliance depending on their classification and end use.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all rubber apparel articles within Chapter 40; classification depends on precise product form, rubber type, and intended use. A customs re-classification — for instance, to a tariff line covering protective industrial gloves or hard-rubber articles — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the rubber specification, product construction, and intended use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4015 90 91 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 rubber apparel article is made of hard rubber or serves an industrial protective purpose?
Hard rubber articles are classified separately within Chapter 40 and industrial protective equipment may fall under a different tariff line that attracts its own compliance regime, including potential Bureau of Indian Standards requirements.
