Precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn or shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 39 (precious and semi-precious stones, other than diamonds, 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, and articles of precious metal covered elsewhere in Chapter 71, may attract separate compliance or valuation rules.

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

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: stones that have been cut, polished, or set — rather than merely sawn or roughly shaped — fall under distinct subheadings within Chapter 71 that carry different duty rates and valuation norms. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Importers should document the precise processing state of each consignment — raw, cleaved, sawn, or otherwise — before relying on this tariff line's absence of compliance.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7103 10 39 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 stones are cut, polished, or set rather than unworked or simply sawn?
Cut, polished, or set stones are classified under separate subheadings within Chapter 71 and may attract different duty rates and valuation treatment, with re-classification by customs triggering retrospective duty recovery.
