Sets of assorted articles containing at least one article plated with precious metal
Assorted tableware sets, at least one piece precious-metal plated
HSN 8215 10 00 (sets of assorted articles containing at least one article plated with precious 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. Other spoons, forks, ladles, and similar kitchen or tableware classified elsewhere in Chapter 82 — particularly unplated or stainless-steel cutlery sets — may attract distinct compliance obligations.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: a set containing articles plated with precious metal must be distinguished from sets without such plating, which fall under separate subheadings in Chapter 82 that may carry BIS compliance. Any re-classification by customs on examination — whether due to misdeclared plating content or incorrect set composition — triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the precise composition and plating specification of each set against the customs tariff before shipment.
