Leg pads and bats for cricket

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 9506 99 20 (leg pads and bats for cricket) 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 sports articles and equipment under Chapter 95 — particularly items with electrical components or those intended for children — may fall under tariff lines that do carry compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to leg pads and bats for cricket; other cricket or sports equipment classified elsewhere within Chapter 95 may carry distinct requirements depending on product composition, intended user age, or safety standards. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where a product is treated as a toy or children's article — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify that the product description on the bill of entry precisely matches the tariff-line scope before shipment.
