Compliance steps

1
Verify that the consignment qualifies for import under the Restricted-import status in force until 30 April 2026. A valid authorisation or licence from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade is required before the bill of entry is filed; consignments without the required DGFT authorisation are liable to detention at the port of import.
DGFT Notification 48/2025-26 dated 17-11-2025
2
Where the origin of the consignment is South Korea, confirm the goods do not fall within the specified items restricted under ITC (HS) policy condition 4 to Chapter 71. Imports of restricted South Korea-origin goods without an applicable DGFT licence are treated as an ITC policy violation and are subject to confiscation and monetary penalty.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without confirming that the DGFT Restricted-import status is still operative: the restriction under Notification 48/2025-26 runs only until 30 April 2026, and consignments shipped in anticipation of policy relaxation that arrive while the restriction is live remain subject to enforcement. Additionally, importers sourcing from South Korea must separately verify compliance with policy condition 4 to Chapter 71, which is an origin-specific overlay independent of the general restricted-import status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7113 19 21 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers articles of jewellery of other precious metal. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy, with the restriction operative until 30 April 2026 per DGFT Notification 48/2025-26.

Does the South Korea origin restriction apply to all jewellery under Chapter 71 or only to specified items?

The restriction applies to specified items only, as enumerated under ITC (HS) policy condition 4 to Chapter 71; importers must confirm whether their specific product falls within the listed specifications before shipment.

What happens if the Restricted-import period expires on 30 April 2026 before the consignment arrives?

If the restriction lapses and is not renewed, the import policy reverts to Free or the applicable default status at that date; however, consignments arriving while the restriction remains in force require the requisite DGFT authorisation regardless of the shipment date.
