BASE METALS, SILVER OR GOLD, CLAD WITH PLATINUM, NOT FURTHER WORKED THAN SEMI-MANUFACTURED

Base metals, silver or gold clad with platinum, semi-manufactured

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7111 00 00 (base metals, silver, or gold clad with platinum, not further worked than semi-manufactured) 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. Finished articles incorporating platinum-clad material — jewellery, industrial contacts, or decorative ware — may fall under separate tariff lines within Chapter 71 that carry distinct duty treatment or import conditions.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: platinum-clad semi-manufactures are distinguished from platinum-clad finished articles, unwrought platinum alloys, and platinum-group metal compounds, each of which sits in a different part of Chapter 71 and may attract different customs treatment. Customs examination that re-characterises the good as a finished article or as a platinum-group metal product triggers retrospective duty assessment and detention pending reclassification. Confirm the degree of working — semi-manufactured versus finished — and the precise cladding specification before filing the bill of entry.
