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

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 49 (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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Worked, mounted, or set stones — and articles of precious metal under Chapter 71 — may fall under distinct tariff lines with their own procedural requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: customs officers may re-classify a consignment to a more specific line — for example, worked or graded stones, or stones set in precious metal — triggering retrospective compliance and potential detention. The line covers only unworked or simply sawn and roughly shaped stones other than diamonds; any degree of cutting, polishing, or grading may shift the applicable tariff position. Verify the precise state of working against the customs tariff before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7103 10 49 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 otherwise worked?

Worked or graded stones are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 71 and may attract different procedural requirements; re-classification by customs to that line triggers retrospective compliance.
