Chalcedony

Chalcedony, a semi-precious stone, worked or unworked

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7103 99 44 (Chalcedony) 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 goods in Chapter 71 — including precious metals and articles set with stones — may carry separate compliance obligations depending on form and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Chalcedony imported strung, mounted, or set — rather than loose or temporarily strung for transport — falls outside this tariff line and into adjacent classifications within Chapter 71 that carry their own valuation and documentation requirements. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific heading triggers retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Verify the physical form of the consignment — loose rough, polished cabochons, or set articles — against the tariff descriptor before declaring under this line.

Stones that are mounted or set fall under different headings within Chapter 71, which may attract distinct classification, valuation rules, and compliance requirements.
