A word of counsel

The origin-specific restriction is the trap most commonly missed on this tariff line: the Restricted-import status under policy condition no. 4 to Chapter 71 applies only to South Korea-origin goods, leaving imports from all other origins free. Misreading the condition as a blanket restriction — or, conversely, failing to scrutinise a certificate of origin that under-declares South Korean provenance — both carry the same enforcement consequence: detention at the bill-of-entry stage pending DGFT licence production.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7115 90 20 require BIS certification?

No, spinnerets made mainly of gold are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers articles of precious metal under Chapter 71. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a country-specific restriction applicable to South Korea-origin goods under policy condition no. 4 to Chapter 71.

Does the South Korea restriction apply to all Chapter 71 items or only to spinnerets?

Policy condition no. 4 to Chapter 71 restricts imports of specified items from South Korea; importers should confirm whether HSN 7115 90 20 falls within the specified items list by consulting the current ITC (HS) Schedule I and any operative DGFT notifications.

Are South Korea-origin spinnerets categorically prohibited or can they be imported with a licence?

The ITC (HS) policy classifies the import as Restricted, not prohibited — a valid DGFT Import Licence permits the import. Consignments shipped without that licence are liable to detention and may not be granted out-of-charge.
