Statuettes and ornaments of base metal, plated with precious metal
HSN 8306 21 90 (other statuettes and ornaments of base metal 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 83 — such as non-electric bells or mirrors of base metal — are separately classified and should be verified independently for applicable compliance.
The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: articles that incorporate precious metal as a structural component rather than a surface plating may be redirected to Chapter 71 (precious metals and articles thereof), which carries a distinct import regime. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending documentary review. Confirm the plating specification and base-metal composition in the product technical sheet before filing the bill of entry.
