Inflatable balls, other than footballs, volleyballs, or rugby balls

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9506 62 90 (other inflatable balls — not footballs, volleyballs, or rugby balls) 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. Within Chapter 95, specific inflatable sports balls and certain toys may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance; classification by product type and intended use is the principal importer risk.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all inflatable sports equipment in Chapter 95: footballs, volleyballs, and rugby balls are classified separately and are subject to Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination — where an officer determines the goods belong under a specific ball-type heading — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant conformity assessment. Verify the precise product type and end-use against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 9506 62 90 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the inflatable ball is a football, volleyball, or rugby ball?
Those specific ball types are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 95 and attract Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order compliance, making re-classification by customs to the applicable specific heading a consequential risk.
