Cricket ball
Cricket balls for sport and recreation
HSN 9506 69 20 (Cricket ball) 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 and equipment under Chapter 95 — particularly safety-related sports equipment or toys — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance, making correct classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all sports equipment within Chapter 95; certain goods in that chapter, including items with a toy or safety function, may attract BIS Quality Control Order coverage under a distinct tariff line. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant licence or certificate. Verify the product description and intended end-use — match ball, training ball, or promotional article — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
