A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Restricted status as a formality and filing the bill of entry without a prior DGFT authorisation. A consignment arriving at port without a valid licence is detained pending adjudication; demurrage and ground rent accumulate from the date of arrival and are not waived even where the importer subsequently obtains the authorisation. Confirm authorisation currency before cargo is loaded at the origin port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2517 49 00 require BIS certification?

What does the Restricted import status mean in practice for this HSN?

Restricted status means import is not freely permitted; a DGFT authorisation or licence is required before the bill of entry is filed, and consignments arriving without valid documentation are liable to detention at the port of import.

Are there any exemptions from the Restricted policy condition for this tariff line?

The regulatory record does not record any specific exemption carve-outs for CTI 2517 49 00; importers should consult the current ITC (HS) Schedule and any applicable DGFT notifications for the latest policy conditions before placing a purchase order.
