Garnet

Garnet, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 51 (garnet, 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. Other stones and worked forms within Chapter 71 — including cut, polished, or set gemstones — are classified under distinct tariff lines that may 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: garnet that has been cut, polished, graded, or set moves to a more specific subheading within Chapter 71, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. The distinction between "simply sawn or roughly shaped" and a commercially worked stone is a factual determination made at the port of entry — product specification documents, including processing state and finish, should accompany every consignment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7103 10 51 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 garnet is cut, polished, or set rather than unworked or roughly shaped?

Cut, polished, or otherwise worked garnet is classified under a separate subheading within Chapter 71 and may attract distinct tariff treatment and compliance requirements.
