Bangles

Imitation jewellery bangles, not of base metal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7117 19 10 (Bangles — 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. Bangles classified under different materials or with precious-metal content may fall under sibling tariff lines within Chapter 71 that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to bangles classified as imitation jewellery — articles without precious metal or precious stone content. Bangles incorporating base metal components may be separately classified, and articles misidentified as imitation jewellery but containing precious metals could attract re-classification within Chapter 71 with retrospective duty consequences. Confirm material composition and intended trade description before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
