A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the Restricted status of the parent heading 9304 goods with the parts and accessories under 9305 99 10 and assuming a licence held for the finished article covers the components. DGFT Notification 40/2024-25 applies the Restricted-import condition directly to this CTI; a separate import authorisation covering parts and accessories is required, and its absence at the bill-of-entry stage will result in consignment detention and potential re-export.
