Granite
Worked granite slabs, tiles and monumental stone articles
HSN 6802 93 00 (Granite) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under which import is freely permitted provided the CIF value is USD 50 or above per square metre for slabs of maximum 20 mm thickness. Consignments falling below the minimum CIF threshold are not freely importable and attract Restricted-import enforcement.
- CIF value declaration to CBIC
- Commercial invoice from exporter
- 1Verify that the CIF value of the granite consignment is USD 50 or above per square metre before filing the bill of entry. This minimum CIF condition applies specifically to slabs of maximum thickness 20 mm; consignments below this value threshold do not qualify for free import under the ITC (HS) policy.ITC (HS) import policy condition, Chapter 68 · DGFT
- 2Ensure the commercial invoice and bill of entry clearly state the per-square-metre CIF value and the slab thickness. The customs proper officer will verify the declared CIF value against the minimum import price condition; a deficient declaration exposes the consignment to detention and Restricted-import enforcement.ITC (HS) import policy condition, Chapter 68 · DGFT
The single most common error on this tariff line is understating the per-square-metre CIF value — whether through bundled freight allocation, currency conversion rounding, or misapplication of the price across varying slab sizes — which converts an otherwise freely importable consignment into a policy violation. The 20 mm thickness cap is a hard limit, not an average: slabs exceeding 20 mm thickness may fall outside the scope of this specific policy condition and require separate classification and CIF verification.
