A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the Restricted status is merely declaratory and that a standard commercial invoice suffices at the bill of entry. The Restricted-import classification under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 is operative, and a consignment presenting without a valid DGFT authorisation or licence will be detained pending regularisation — attracting demurrage and potential confiscation if the deficiency is not remedied within the permitted period.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7110 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers platinum in unwrought, semi-manufactured, or powder form. Import is governed 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 triggered the Restricted-import classification for this tariff line?

DGFT Notification 8/2025-26 dated 19-05-2025 imposed the Restricted-import status on this CTI; importers should verify the current policy condition directly with DGFT, as the notification supersedes any prior Free or Restricted classification.

Can this platinum be imported under a duty exemption or advance authorisation?

Advance Authorisation or other DGFT scheme eligibility depends on the specific policy condition attached to the Restricted status under DGFT Notification 8/2025-26; importers must obtain a confirmed DGFT authorisation before shipment to avoid detention at the port of entry.
