  3. 3

A word of counsel

The India-UAE CEPA TRQ carve-out is frequently misread as a blanket exemption from the Restricted-import classification: it is not. The TRQ window applies only to quantities allocated under the specific procedures in Appendix 2A, and imports outside the allocated TRQ quantity remain Restricted and require a separate DGFT authorisation. Separately, the gold-above-22-carats rule under DGFT Notification 22/2015-20 operates independently of the jewellery-specific restrictions and catches importers who focus only on the studded-stone classification while overlooking the gold-content threshold.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7113 19 15 require BIS certification?
No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers articles of jewellery under this tariff line. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a South Korea-specific restriction under policy condition 4 of Chapter 71 and a TRQ pathway under the India-UAE CEPA.
Can imports under the India-UAE CEPA TRQ proceed without a Restricted Import Authorisation?
Yes, but only for quantities covered by a valid TRQ allocation under the procedures in Appendix 2A of the Foreign Trade Policy and Annexure IV thereof, as confirmed by DGFT Notification 17/2024-25 dated 11-06-2024; imports exceeding the TRQ allocation or not covered by it remain Restricted.
Does the nominated-agency requirement for gold above 22 carats apply to studded jewellery?
Yes. Per DGFT Notification 22/2015-20 dated 02-09-2021, the expression 'gold in any form' includes gold in any form above 22 carats, and such imports — including jewellery articles — may be made only by RBI-nominated agencies (banks) or DGFT-nominated agencies (others).
