Lapis-lazuli

Lapis-lazuli, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 52 (Lapis-lazuli, 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. Further-worked or mounted lapis-lazuli — and other precious and semi-precious stones under Chapter 71 — may fall under sibling tariff lines with distinct classification consequences.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: lapis-lazuli that has been cut, polished, or otherwise worked beyond simple sawing or rough shaping falls under a different 8-digit tariff line within Chapter 71, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the degree of working — raw, sawn, or roughly shaped — against the customs tariff description before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7103 10 52 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 lapis-lazuli has been cut, polished, or otherwise worked beyond rough shaping?

Further-worked stones are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 71, and re-classification by customs to that line may attract distinct duty rates and compliance consequences.
