Dust and powder of precious or semi-precious stones, other
HSN 7105 90 00 (dust and powder of natural or synthetic precious or semi-precious stones, other than of diamonds) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Diamond dust and powder, separately classified within Chapter 71, and abrasive powders of synthetic stones repurposed as industrial abrasives under Chapter 68, may carry distinct compliance obligations.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all stone powders within Chapter 71: diamond dust and powder occupy a separate tariff line and may attract different treatment, and synthetic abrasive powders classified under Chapter 68 carry their own regime. Re-classification on customs examination — particularly where the material is presented as an industrial abrasive rather than a gem-industry input — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending determination. Verify the precise mineral composition, natural or synthetic origin, and intended end-use before relying on the absence of compliance here.
