A word of counsel

The Bhutan-origin carve-out is the most frequently misapplied provision on this tariff line: importers assume that MIP-exemption for Bhutan origin means the import is free of all policy conditions, when in fact a DGFT registration certificate is still mandatory under Notification 61/2015-20 and must be obtained before shipment. Arriving without that certificate — even with a valid invoice at or above the standard MIP — triggers consignment detention at the port of entry pending regularisation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6802 21 20 require BIS certification?

No, worked marble monumental stone is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed solely by the ITC (HS) 2022 import policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68 administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under DGFT Notification 60/2015-20.

What is the registration certificate required for Bhutan-origin marble imports, and how is it obtained?

The registration certificate for importing marble under HS codes 2515 or 6802 from Bhutan without the MIP condition is issued by DGFT under the procedure in paragraphs 1(i) to 1(vii) and paragraph 2 of DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023; the application must be completed before the consignment is shipped.
