Precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn
HSN 7103 10 79 (precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped — other) 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. Stones that are worked, graded, strung, mounted, or set may fall under distinct tariff lines within Chapter 71 that carry their own compliance considerations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend across Chapter 71 broadly: worked or graded stones, diamonds, and articles of jewellery each occupy separate tariff lines that may attract distinct obligations, including DGFT-administered import licensing conditions. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where stones are found to be worked beyond simple sawing — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the precise working state and species of stone against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
