Of cellular rubber
Other articles of vulcanised rubber, cellular rubber
HSN 4016 10 00 (other articles of vulcanised rubber of cellular 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. Certain other articles of vulcanised rubber — particularly those intended for automotive or industrial safety applications — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 40 that do carry compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to articles of cellular (foam) vulcanised rubber; non-cellular vulcanised rubber articles, hard rubber articles, and rubber components destined for regulated end-uses such as automotive safety systems are classified elsewhere in Chapter 40 and may attract distinct obligations. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, a determination that the goods are non-cellular or fall within a notified product category — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the cellular structure, vulcanisation method, and intended end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
