DGFT CLEARANCE

HSN 7418 10 90 (Parts of copper table, kitchen, and household articles) is subject to the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which serves as the designated authority for allocation and monitoring of copper products under Chapter 74 via a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) mechanism. DGFT Public Notice 17/2023 dated 22-06-2023 governs the revised procedure for allocation of the 10,000 MT TRQ for copper products for FY 2023-24 under the revised India-Nepal Treaty and the Hand Book of Procedures 2023.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Verify whether the consignment falls within the 10,000 MT Tariff Rate Quota for copper products under Chapter 74 and CTH 8544, allocated by DGFT under the revised India-Nepal Treaty. Obtain TRQ allocation from DGFT as the designated authority before filing the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    Comply with all conditions in paragraphs (i) to (xv) of DGFT Public Notice 17/2023, which prescribe the revised procedure for allocation, utilisation, and monitoring of the TRQ. Non-compliance with allocation conditions renders the import liable to Restricted-import enforcement under the ITC (HS) policy.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing copper household article parts under Chapter 74 without first confirming TRQ allocation status for the relevant financial year. The TRQ ceiling of 10,000 MT is aggregate across all Chapter 74 and CTH 8544 copper products under the India-Nepal Treaty; a consignment arriving after the annual quota is exhausted has no residual free-import pathway and faces detention pending DGFT dispensation.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 7418 10 90 require BIS certification?
No, parts of copper household articles are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, specifically the TRQ allocation regime under DGFT Public Notice 17/2023 and HBP 2023 Para 2.92.
Does the TRQ under DGFT Public Notice 17/2023 apply to all copper product imports or only those from Nepal?
The TRQ of 10,000 MT is specifically linked to the revised India-Nepal Treaty and covers Chapter 74 and CTH 8544 copper products allocated by DGFT for FY 2023-24; importers should confirm with DGFT whether the allocation procedure has been extended to subsequent financial years.
What happens if a consignment arrives after the annual TRQ of 10,000 MT has been fully allocated?
Consignments exceeding or arriving outside the allocated TRQ are subject to Restricted-import enforcement under the ITC (HS) policy; out-of-charge cannot be granted without a valid DGFT allocation, exposing the consignment to detention and demurrage at the port.
