    Verify the country of origin of the consignment before filing the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    Obtain and retain a valid Certificate of Origin confirming the country of supply. Where the origin is South Korea, the importer must separately establish eligibility under the applicable policy condition before the bill of entry is assessed.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to flag South Korean origin at the purchase-order stage. By the time the consignment arrives at port, the Restricted-import restriction under Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71 is already triggered, and the importer faces detention, demurrage, and potential re-export with no administrative remedy short of a DGFT authorisation. Origin verification must precede the export booking, not the bill of entry.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7113 20 00 require BIS certification?
No, articles of jewellery of base metal clad with precious metal are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, specifically Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71 for South Korean origin goods.
Does the South Korea origin restriction apply to all items under Chapter 71 or only to specified items?
Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71 restricts imports from South Korea of specified items only; importers should confirm whether their particular product description falls within the specified items before shipment.
What happens if a South Korean origin consignment arrives without satisfying Policy Condition No. 4?
The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import; the importer faces demurrage and ground rent accumulation, and the consignment may be ordered for re-export if the Restricted-import condition cannot be satisfied post-arrival.
