Importing jewellery from India to the United Arab Emirates
Precious-metal and imitation/costume jewellery from Indian manufacturers, classified and regulated very differently depending on which of the two HS headings applies.
HS classification
HS 7113 (Chapter 71 — jewellery of precious metal) for gold/silver/platinum pieces; HS 7117 for imitation/costume jewellery of base metal
Documentation for United Arab Emirates
- Mandatory hallmarking under UAE federal law on precious metals and stones — every gold/silver/platinum piece must carry a hallmark from the Dubai Central Laboratory or another authorised body before sale
- Certificate of origin and full trade documentation for customs clearance
Hallmarking is enforced with real penalties (imprisonment and fines up to AED 500,000 under the federal law) — this is not a best-practice recommendation, it's a mandatory pre-sale requirement.
Certifications that matter
Order volume and shipping
Courier only — high value-to-weight ratio makes courier the standard mode regardless of order size; insured, and often hand-carried for larger consignments.
Indiasay listings are built to be orderable from a single sample unit — MOQ and lead time are set per product, not per category, so test before committing to volume.
