Tanzanite

Tanzanite, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 72 (Tanzanite, 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 gemstone categories within Chapter 71 — including worked or set stones, synthetic stones, and diamonds — are classified under distinct tariff lines that may carry their own compliance or valuation requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: tanzanite that has been faceted, polished, or otherwise worked beyond simple sawing or rough shaping is classified under a separate subheading within Chapter 71, and customs re-classification on examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential duty recovery. Importers should ensure that product descriptions on commercial invoices precisely reflect the degree of working — unworked, sawn, or roughly shaped — to avoid detention pending re-classification.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7103 10 72 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 tanzanite has been faceted or polished beyond rough shaping?
Worked tanzanite is classified under a separate subheading within Chapter 71 and may attract distinct valuation rules and compliance; re-classification by customs to the appropriate worked-stones tariff line triggers retrospective assessment.
