Compliance steps

1
Confirm the import is covered by a valid DGFT authorisation before filing the bill of entry. Under DGFT Notification 34/2025-26, imports of silver jewellery under this CTI are Restricted until 31 March 2026, and a consignment without the requisite authorisation will be detained at the port of import.

2
If importing as a 100% EOU or SEZ unit, document the exemption under Para 6.01(d) of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2023 and Rule 27 of the Special Economic Zones Rules, 2006 respectively, and ensure the imported goods are not sold into the Domestic Tariff Area. Advance Authorisation and DFIA holders must establish the exemption under Para 4.18(iv) of the FTP, 2023.

3
Verify the country of origin against ITC (HS) policy condition 4 of Chapter 71: imports from South Korea of specified items under this tariff line carry a separate restriction and require specific confirmation of compliance before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the EOU, SEZ, or AA/DFIA exemption as a blanket clearance when the no-DTA-sale condition is not documented at the bill of entry stage. A subsequent diversion of exempt imported silver jewellery into the Domestic Tariff Area converts the original import into a Restricted-policy breach, attracting both DGFT enforcement and retrospective duty liability. The South Korea origin restriction under policy condition 4 operates independently and applies even where the general restriction is otherwise exempt.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7113 11 49 require BIS certification?

No, silver jewellery under this tariff line is not subject to any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under DGFT Notification 34/2025-26, operative until 31 March 2026.

Is the restriction on silver jewellery under DGFT Notification 34/2025-26 permanent?

No. The restriction is operative until 31 March 2026 as per DGFT Notification 34/2025-26 dated 24 September 2025; importers should confirm whether DGFT has extended or modified the condition beyond that date before filing new purchase orders.

Does the EOU or SEZ exemption from the silver jewellery restriction also cover imports from South Korea?

The EOU/SEZ and AA/DFIA exemptions under DGFT Policy Circular 06/2025-26 address the general Restricted-import notification; the South Korea-specific restriction under ITC (HS) policy condition 4 of Chapter 71 is a separate overlay and must be assessed independently.
