Of wood

Footwear parts of wood (lasts, heels, shanks)

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6406 90 10 (footwear parts of wood) 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 footwear parts and uppers classified elsewhere in Chapter 64 may carry compliance obligations depending on material composition and end-use.

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

While this tariff line carries no product-specific compliance, Chapter 64 contains several lines covering finished footwear and uppers where Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders apply; a customs officer who determines that the imported goods constitute a finished or near-finished footwear component subject to a notified standard may re-classify accordingly. Re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence. Verify that the imported goods are unambiguously intermediate parts — lasts, heels, shanks — and not assembled uppers or complete footwear before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
