Imitation zari spangles

Imitation zari spangles of base metal

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 8308 90 20 (Imitation zari spangles) 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 articles of base metal used in clothing accessories or jewellery may fall under sibling lines within Chapter 83 that carry distinct compliance; classification accuracy is the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader Chapter 83 family: base metal clasps, buckles, hooks, and similar garment hardware occupy separately classified lines and may attract compliance under quality control notifications applicable to that product category. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if the goods are assessed as beads or sequins of a different material basis — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise material composition and end-use description against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
