A word of counsel

The restriction under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 applies specifically to the powder form of platinum under this CTI — importers sourcing platinum in unwrought form under adjacent tariff lines should verify their exact 8-digit classification before assuming the same policy condition applies. A misclassified consignment arriving as powder without a Restricted-import licence is liable to detention at the port of import and potential confiscation, with no post-arrival remedy short of re-export.
