Parts of gaiters, leggings and similar articles
Parts of gaiters, leggings, and similar leg coverings
HSN 6406 90 50 (parts of gaiters, leggings, and similar articles) 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. Footwear components and complete footwear classified elsewhere in Chapter 64 may carry distinct compliance obligations; classification accuracy between finished uppers, complete footwear, and accessory leg-covering parts is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader heading: complete footwear and certain footwear uppers elsewhere in Chapter 64 are subject to Quality Control Orders, and a re-classification from parts of gaiters to a covered footwear line on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant conformity certification. Verify that imported goods are genuinely parts or components of gaiters and leggings — not finished footwear or uppers — before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
