Mattress supports
Mattress supports, frames, and slatted bases
HSN 9404 10 00 (Mattress supports) 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 under Chapter 94 — including mattresses fitted with springs or stuffed with any material — may carry distinct compliance obligations at their own tariff lines.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader heading: mattresses, quilts, cushions, and similar bedding articles classified elsewhere within Chapter 94 each carry their own tariff lines and may attract Quality Control Order coverage. A customs re-classification — for instance, where a mattress support is assessed as forming part of an upholstered bed frame under furniture headings — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise product description and construction against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
