WALKING-STICKS, SEAT-STICKS, WHIPS, RIDING CROPS AND THE LIKE

Walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding crops and similar articles

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6602 00 00 (walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding crops and the like) 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. Parts and fittings for these articles are classified separately within Chapter 66 and should be verified independently for any applicable compliance.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Although this tariff line carries no product-specific compliance, importers should confirm that the goods are correctly distinguished from umbrella parts or handles that share Chapter 66 but may be classified under a different heading. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a handle assembly is assessed as a part rather than a finished article — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Accurate description of materials, intended use, and product form on the bill of entry is the primary risk-management step.
