Tourmaline

Tourmaline, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 71 (Tourmaline, 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. Other tariff lines within Chapter 71 covering worked, graded, mounted, or set precious and semi-precious stones may carry distinct compliance or valuation requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: tourmaline that has been cut, faceted, or otherwise worked beyond rough shaping moves to a different tariff line within Chapter 71, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential duty recovery. Importers should document the processing state — raw, sawn, or roughly shaped — with supporting gemmological or supplier certificates before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7103 10 71 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 tourmaline has been cut, faceted, or otherwise worked?

Worked or graded tourmaline is classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 71, which may attract different valuation norms and compliance requirements, and customs re-classification to that line is retrospective.
