Imitation jewellery, other than of base metal
HSN 7117 19 90 (Other imitation jewellery — not of base metal) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Imitation jewellery of base metal, classified elsewhere within Chapter 71, may carry distinct compliance obligations; precise material composition determines the correct tariff line.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all imitation jewellery: articles of base metal classified within the same heading, and jewellery incorporating precious metals or stones falling under earlier subheadings of Chapter 71, each occupy separate tariff lines that may attract their own regulatory treatment. Re-classification on customs examination — triggered by material content findings — carries the risk of detention pending retrospective compliance. Confirm the precise material composition and construction against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
