Piezo-electric quartz
Piezo-electric quartz, synthetic or reconstructed
HSN 7104 10 00 (piezo-electric quartz) 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 synthetic or reconstructed stones under Chapter 71 — particularly those worked, set, or mounted — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that attract different duty treatment.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: piezo-electric quartz imported in worked, graded, or set form may be re-classified by customs to a more specific line within Chapter 71, triggering retrospective duty recovery and potential detention. Importers should ensure the product specification — unworked or unset, not strung except temporarily for transport — precisely matches the declared tariff line before shipment.
