Chalcedony

Chalcedony, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 64 (Chalcedony, 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 gemstones and semi-precious stones within Chapter 71 — particularly worked, graded, strung, mounted, or set stones — are classified under distinct tariff lines that may carry different treatment.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: chalcedony that has been cut, polished, or otherwise worked beyond simple sawing falls under a separate tariff line within Chapter 71, and customs re-examination of the degree of working can trigger re-classification. Re-classification carries retrospective duty implications and potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the exact processing state — unworked, sawn, or roughly shaped — is accurately described in the invoice and packing list before shipment.
