Bangles

Glass bangles, a glass smallware

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7018 10 10 (Glass bangles) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 70 — particularly processed or safety glass products — may carry Quality Control Order compliance, making precise tariff-line classification the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Glass bangles sit within the glass smallwares subheading, but sibling lines covering imitation jewellery or lamp-worked glass ornaments carry their own classification and, depending on material composition, potential compliance considerations under Chapter 70. Re-classification by customs on examination — for instance, if the goods are determined to constitute imitation jewellery under a different heading — triggers retrospective compliance and risks detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise product description, material composition, and intended classification against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7018 10 10 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the bangles are classified as imitation jewellery rather than glass smallwares?
Imitation jewellery falls under a separate heading within Chapter 71 and may attract distinct compliance and duty treatment, meaning re-classification by customs triggers retrospective obligations.
