Cuff-links and studs

Imitation jewellery cuff-links and studs

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7117 11 00 (cuff-links and studs of imitation jewellery) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other imitation jewellery articles under Chapter 71, or articles incorporating precious metals or stones, may fall under sibling tariff lines with distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 71 universe: articles incorporating precious metals, precious stones, or cultured pearls are classified separately and attract their own regime. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where metal content is disputed — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Verify the material composition and finish of the article against the tariff description before relying on the absence of compliance.
