How to read this code
71.01 is the four-digit HS heading for pearls. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many pearls, precious stones & metals lines — check our import guides for your market.
