Precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 69 (precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn — other than those specifically enumerated) 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. Worked, graded, mounted, or set stones under Chapter 71 may be classified under sibling tariff lines that attract distinct treatment, including Foreign Trade Policy conditions.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The residual 'Other' position within the unworked or simply sawn subheading is sensitive to misclassification: stones that have been faceted, polished beyond rough shaping, or temporarily strung may fall under a more specific tariff line within Chapter 71. Customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Document the precise working state, gemstone identity, and grading status in the commercial invoice before relying on this tariff line's absence of compliance.
