Chrysoberyl (including chrysoberyl cat’s eye)
Chrysoberyl, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped
HSN 7103 10 33 (chrysoberyl, including chrysoberyl cat's eye, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped) 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. Worked, mounted, or set stones within Chapter 71 may be classified under distinct tariff lines that attract different duty treatment, making precise workmanship-state description on shipping documents essential.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification based on the degree of working: a stone described as 'cut' or 'polished' rather than 'simply sawn or roughly shaped' will be reclassified by customs to a different sub-heading, potentially altering duty liability and triggering retrospective recovery. Articles set in precious metal or mounted fall outside Chapter 71's gemstone sub-headings entirely. Confirm the precise workmanship state and presentation of the goods against the tariff schedule before filing the bill of entry.
