Precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 10 90 (precious and semi-precious stones, unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped — other than rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and alexandrites) 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 headings within Chapter 71 — covering worked stones, mounted jewellery, or articles of precious metal — may carry distinct compliance or valuation scrutiny.

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

The principal risk for importers at this tariff line is misclassification: customs officers routinely scrutinise the degree of working, and a stone re-classified as cut or otherwise worked may fall under a different sub-heading with separate valuation and duty implications. Retrospective re-classification can trigger detention pending resolution and recovery of differential duty. Accurate documentation of the stone's processing state — raw, sawn, or roughly shaped — is essential to defending the declared tariff line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7103 10 90 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 stones are cut, polished, or otherwise worked beyond rough shaping?
Worked or graded stones are classified under a separate sub-heading within Chapter 71 and may attract different duty rates and valuation procedures, making accurate documentation of processing state critical.
