A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is misreading the gold-content threshold: the expression 'gold in any form' captures gold above 22 carats in any article, including parts of goldsmiths' wares — not only finished jewellery. An importer who is not a nominated agency and presents a bill of entry for such parts without nominated-agency status faces confiscation of the consignment and monetary penalty, with no administrative remedy short of re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7114 20 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts of goldsmiths' or silversmiths' wares of base metal clad with precious metal. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with additional restrictions for South Korean-origin goods and for articles containing gold above 22 carats.

Does the South Korea restriction apply to all goods under this tariff line or only specified items?

The restriction applies only to specified items from South Korea as enumerated under policy condition no. 4 of Chapter 71 of the ITC (HS); importers should confirm whether the specific part falls within the listed items before placing a purchase order.

Who qualifies as a nominated agency for importing gold above 22 carats?

Nominated agencies are notified separately by the Reserve Bank of India in the case of banks, and by DGFT in the case of other entities, per DGFT Notification 22/2015-20 dated 02-09-2021; an importer must obtain nominated-agency status before the import, not after.
