Crude or roughly trimmed
Crude or roughly trimmed marble and travertine blocks
HSN 2515 11 00 (Crude or roughly trimmed marble) is subject to the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with a Minimum Import Price (MIP) of US$ 200 per metric tonne as the baseline condition for free import. A separate Bhutan-origin quota of 10,000 MT annually under HS codes 2515 and 6802 is available without MIP, subject to a DGFT-issued Registration Certificate operative on a financial-year basis.
- MIP-compliant CIF declaration from DGFT
- Registration Certificate from DGFT
- ITC (HS) policy compliance to CBIC
- 1Verify that the consignment CIF value is at or above US$ 200 per metric tonne before filing the bill of entry. Consignments falling below the MIP trigger the Restricted-import enforcement under ITC (HS) policy conditions (2) and (3) of Chapter 25 and are liable to detention at the port.ITC (HS) Schedule I Import Policy, Chapter 25 · policy conditions (2) and (3)
- 2If importing Bhutan-origin marble under the annual 10,000 MT quota without MIP, hold a valid Registration Certificate issued by DGFT before the bill of entry is filed. The quota operates on a financial-year basis, and the procedure for obtaining the Registration Certificate is governed by DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023.DGFT Notification 60/2015-20 dated 14-03-2023 · S.O. 1207(E) dated 14-03-2023 · DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023
- 3Ensure compliance with paragraphs 1(i to vii) and 2 of DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023 covering the application and issuance procedure for the Registration Certificate for Bhutan-origin marble imports under HS codes 2515 or 6802 without the MIP condition.DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the general MIP-based free-import route with the Bhutan-origin quota route: the quota waives the MIP but does not waive the Registration Certificate requirement, and importers who ship without a current DGFT Registration Certificate under the Bhutan track face consignment detention regardless of CIF value. The Registration Certificate is quota-year-bound — a certificate issued in one financial year does not carry over to the next.
