DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 6802 10 00 (small stone tiles, mosaic cubes, and artificially coloured granules and chippings) is subject to ITC (HS) import policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68, administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). These policy conditions govern the terms under which import of worked natural stone articles is permitted at the bill-of-entry stage.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Verify compliance with ITC (HS) policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 applicable to Chapter 68 before filing the bill of entry. The import is conditional on satisfying all three policy conditions; failure to meet any one condition renders the consignment liable to Restricted-import enforcement.

    Ensure all required policy-condition documentation is uploaded in e-Sanchit and correctly declared on the bill of entry before customs out-of-charge is sought.

A word of counsel

The regulatory record cites three distinct Chapter 68 policy conditions without specifying each condition's content individually; importers frequently overlook that all three must be satisfied concurrently, not as alternatives. Confirming the current text of conditions 1, 2 and 3 directly from the operative ITC (HS) Schedule before shipment is essential, as a consignment cleared under only one or two conditions may be detained pending rectification of the outstanding policy breach.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 6802 10 00 require BIS certification?
No, small worked stone tiles and mosaic cubes are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed solely by ITC (HS) import policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68, administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
What are the ITC (HS) policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68 that apply to this tariff line?
The regulatory record confirms that all three Chapter 68 policy conditions apply to this CTI; the operative text of each condition must be verified from the current ITC (HS) Schedule published by DGFT before filing the bill of entry.
Does the small-size criterion (largest face capable of being enclosed in a square of less than 7 cm) affect the applicable policy conditions?
The 7 cm face criterion determines classification within heading 6802 and places the goods under HSN 6802 10 00 specifically; the same ITC (HS) policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68 apply regardless of whether the article is a tile, mosaic cube, granule, or chipping.
