Compliance steps

1
Verify the applicable ITC (HS) policy condition for Chapter 25 and obtain any licence or authorisation required by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade before shipment. Filing a bill of entry for a Restricted-import item without the requisite DGFT authorisation exposes the consignment to detention and confiscation.

2
Upload all DGFT-mandated authorisation documents in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer will verify that the Restricted-import condition is satisfied before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is treating marble granules, chippings and powder as a freely importable bulk mineral simply because the physical form appears mundane. The Restricted status attaches to the CTI regardless of the consignment's end use or quantity, and shipments arriving without a valid DGFT authorisation are liable to detention, demurrage, and ground rent at port pending regularisation or re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2517 41 00 require BIS certification?

No, marble granules, chippings and powder are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under Chapter 25 of the ITC (HS) schedule.

What authorisation is needed to import under this Restricted policy condition?

The specific licence or authorisation required is prescribed under the applicable ITC (HS) policy condition for Chapter 25; importers must confirm the current condition with DGFT before placing the purchase order, as importing without the requisite authorisation renders the consignment liable to confiscation.

Does the Restricted status apply to all quantities and end uses of marble granules?

Yes. The Restricted-import classification under the ITC (HS) policy applies to the tariff line irrespective of quantity, end use, or trade channel, and no automatic exemption exists for industrial or construction-sector buyers.
