Ruby

Unworked or simply sawn ruby, roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 41 (ruby, 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. Rubies in a more advanced state of working — cut, polished, graded, or mounted — are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 71 that carry their own compliance considerations.

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

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: customs may re-examine whether a stone has been worked beyond the sawn or roughly shaped threshold, shifting it to a more specific tariff line and triggering retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending re-classification. Importers should retain objective technical documentation — gemological laboratory reports, rough-weight certificates — establishing the unworked condition of each parcel. Chapter 71 also covers articles of precious stones and precious metal settings, which attract distinct valuation and compliance treatment.
