Compliance steps

1
Ensure the importing entity is registered with the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the designated importing authority for the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in India. An unregistered importer cannot legally import under this tariff line regardless of the condition of the Kimberley Process Certificate.
DGFT Notification 43/2015-2020 dated 22-11-2021 · ITC (HS) policy condition 05 of Chapter 71
2
Obtain a valid Kimberley Process Certificate issued by the competent authority of the exporting country, covering the specific consignment of diamonds. Present the certificate at the bill of entry stage in accordance with ITC (HS) policy condition no. 3 of Chapter 71.
DGFT Notification 34/2015-20 dated 28-09-2020 · ITC (HS) policy condition no. 3 of Chapter 71
3
Confirm the country of origin is not Côte d'Ivoire or Venezuela, both of which are subject to separate origin-specific policy conditions (conditions no. 1 and no. 2 respectively) under the ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 71. Consignments from prohibited origins are liable to detention and confiscation.
ITC (HS) policy conditions no. 1 and no. 2 of Chapter 71

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating GJEPC registration as a formality obtainable post-shipment. Registration must precede the import transaction — an importer who secures a Kimberley Process Certificate but has not completed GJEPC registration at the time of bill of entry filing is in breach of policy condition no. 05, and the consignment is liable to detention regardless of the certificate's validity.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7102 39 90 require BIS certification?

No, worked diamonds not mounted or set are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade ITC (HS) policy conditions for Chapter 71, principally the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme requirements under DGFT Notification 34/2015-20.

Is a Kimberley Process Certificate required for all origins, or only specific countries?

The Kimberley Process Certificate requirement under policy condition no. 3 applies generally; separate and additional restrictions under policy conditions no. 1 and no. 2 specifically prohibit or further restrict imports originating from Côte d'Ivoire and Venezuela respectively.

What is the consequence of importing without GJEPC registration?

Importing without GJEPC registration violates ITC (HS) policy condition no. 05 and renders the consignment liable to detention, confiscation, and DGFT-policy enforcement, irrespective of whether a valid Kimberley Process Certificate accompanies the shipment.
