Inflatable volleyballs for sport and recreation

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9506 62 20 (inflatable volleyball) 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 inflatable balls and sports equipment within Chapter 95 may be subject to separate compliance obligations depending on product type, intended use, or applicable safety standards.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to inflatable volleyballs; other articles and equipment under Chapter 95 — including certain toys and sports goods marketed to children — may attract BIS mandatory certification under separate Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination, whether to a different ball type or to a toy category, triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Importers should ensure product specifications, labelling, and intended-use declarations clearly support classification under this tariff line before shipment.
