A word of counsel

The Bhutan-origin carve-out from the Minimum Import Price condition is procedurally distinct from the general Chapter 68 policy conditions: the registration certificate required under DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 must be obtained before shipment, not at the port of import. Importers who treat the MIP waiver as automatic — without holding a valid registration certificate — face Restricted-import enforcement and consignment detention even though the goods otherwise qualify for preferential treatment under the Bhutan origin arrangement.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6802 21 90 require BIS certification?

No, worked marble, travertine and alabaster articles under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by DGFT import policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68 under Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022.

What registration certificate is required for marble imports from Bhutan without the MIP condition?

A registration certificate issued under the procedure in Para 1 (i to vii) and Para 2 of DGFT Notification 61/2015-20 dated 20-03-2023 is required; the notification sets out both the application process and conditions for issuance.

Do the Chapter 68 import policy conditions apply to all origins, including Bhutan?

The general policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 68 apply to all imports; the Bhutan-specific MIP waiver operates as an additional overlay governed by DGFT Notification 61/2015-20, and both sets of requirements must be satisfied concurrently.
