Air mattresses
Air mattresses of vulcanised rubber, inflatable
HSN 4016 95 10 (Air mattresses 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 vulcanised rubber — particularly those with specific end-use applications such as medical devices or automotive components — may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 40 that carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all rubber articles: inflatable articles intended for medical use may attract CDSCO clearance requirements, and rubber components classified as automotive parts may fall under a Quality Control Order applicable elsewhere in Chapter 40. Customs re-classification on examination — for instance, to a specific-use inflatable article — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify the product's intended end-use and construction against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
