A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing under the assumption that precious-metal imports attract only customs-duty scrutiny while overlooking the Restricted-import status imposed by DGFT Notification 8/2025-26. A bill of entry filed without a current DGFT import licence or the relevant policy-condition compliance results in consignment detention, accumulating demurrage and ground rent, with no rectification pathway short of obtaining the licence retrospectively or arranging re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7110 11 19 require BIS certification?

No, unwrought or powder-form platinum is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed solely by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 dated 19-05-2025.

What documentation is required at the bill of entry for HSN 7110 11 19?

A valid DGFT import licence or evidence of policy-condition compliance must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge; the tariff line carries Restricted status under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 and no out-of-charge can be granted without it.

Does the Restricted-import status apply to all forms of unwrought platinum, or only to specific sub-categories?

DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 applies to this specific CTI 7110 11 19 (other unwrought or powder-form platinum); importers of adjacent forms such as semi-manufactured platinum should independently verify the ITC (HS) policy status of their respective tariff lines.
