Compliance steps

1
Verify the platinum content of the consignment is 99.0 percent or more by weight to confirm the tariff line is correctly declared as 7110 19 10. Misclassification into an adjacent sub-heading may attract a different ITC (HS) policy condition and customs duty rate.
DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 dated 19-05-2025
2
File the bill of entry declaring the Free import status under ITC (HS) Chapter 71. No DGFT licence or permit is required; retain documentary evidence of platinum purity (assay certificate or mill certificate) for customs assessment.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is inadequate documentation of purity at the bill-of-entry stage. Although the import policy is Free, customs officers routinely verify the 99.0 percent purity threshold against an assay or mill certificate; consignments without one risk detention for reassessment and potential reclassification into a Restricted sub-heading with substantially different duty and policy consequences.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7110 19 10 require BIS certification?

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

Is a DGFT import licence required for this tariff line?

No. The import policy status is Free under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26, meaning no licence or permit from DGFT is required at the bill-of-entry stage, provided the platinum content is confirmed at 99.0 percent or more by weight.

What happens if the purity falls below 99.0 percent by weight?

A consignment whose platinum content is below 99.0 percent by weight does not qualify under HSN 7110 19 10 and must be declared under the appropriate sub-heading, which may carry a different ITC (HS) policy condition and attract reassessment, short-levy demand, or reclassification proceedings.
