Jewellery articles of base metal clad with precious metal
HSN 7113 20 00 (Of base metal clad with precious metal) is subject to the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), with a specific restriction on imports originating from South Korea under Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71. All importers must confirm origin compliance before filing the bill of entry.
- ITC (HS) policy compliance from DGFT
- Certificate of Origin from exporter
- 1Verify the country of origin of the consignment before filing the bill of entry. Imports of specified items under Chapter 71 from South Korea are Restricted under Policy Condition No. 4 of Chapter 71 of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, and no such consignment may be cleared without satisfying that condition.ITC (HS) Import Policy, Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71
- 2Obtain 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.ITC (HS) Import Policy, Policy Condition No. 4 to Chapter 71
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.
