Rubber bushes of vulcanised rubber, other articles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 4016 99 60 (Rubber bushes) 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. Other articles of vulcanised rubber within Chapter 40 — particularly those intended for specific end-use applications such as automotive or industrial safety — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations.

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 vulcanised rubber articles: certain rubber components intended for automotive or industrial safety applications may be subject to Quality Control Orders under adjacent classifications in Chapter 40. Re-classification by customs on examination — based on composition, intended use, or end-product assembly — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending any applicable licence. Verify the product's specific application and rubber compound specification against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Other vulcanised rubber articles classified under more specific tariff lines within Chapter 40 may attract Quality Control Order obligations, and re-classification by customs to those lines triggers retrospective compliance.
