Precious and semi-precious stones, worked or graded, other
HSN 7103 99 29 (precious and semi-precious stones, other than diamonds, worked or graded but not strung, mounted, or set — 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. Other tariff lines within Chapter 71 covering diamonds, mounted stones, or articles of precious metal may attract distinct compliance and valuation rules; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to adjacent classifications: diamonds are governed by separate Chapter 71 headings with their own valuation and documentation norms, and articles of precious metal or mounted gemstones may attract additional DGFT conditions. Re-classification on customs examination — for example, if stones are found to be strung, mounted, or set — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise product state (worked, graded, unstrung) against the customs tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance.
