be imported by the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) only. The list of
such tyres is at Annexure-1.

2. The list of the other 70 tyres which can be imported upto 28.02.2025 is at
Annexure-11 (vide even file number dated 08.02.2024).

3. A new list i.e. Annexure-III would include 126 run-flat-tyres (out of the existing 890 tyres list) and other 5 run-flat-tyre sizes that have already been given exemption for two years i.e. 31.03.2026.

4. Tyre Size marked RF or RFT or Run Flat and / or carrying the symbol (given below)are exempted from QCO requirements till the time such Tyre sizes are not manufactured domestically”. Also refer to Annexure-III for the list of RFT tyres exempted from BIS/QCO for the time being in India.

Our View:

There are no specific HSN Codes defined under the Import Tariff schedule, hence an easy inferrence can be drawn that the Run Flat Tyres (RFT) & Off The Road (OTR) can be classified under ITC(HS) 4011 9000 “Others”. However, the Importers must obtain a written Order on the same from the Customs Authority for Advance Ruling or through any appropriate judicial body in India.
