Notifications Customs

Pursuant to powers under s.25(1) of the Customs Act, 1962, the Central Government has amended Notification No. 9/2012-Customs dated March 9, 2012. The amendment modifies condition (v) by substituting a new proviso that permits specific variances for diamonds: +/-0.05 mm in diameter for round diamonds, +/-0.07 mm in length and breadth for other shapes, +/-0.01 mm in height, and +/-1 cent in weight. This modification, implemented through Notification No. 18/2025-Customs dated March 20, 2025, was deemed necessary in the public interest and provides greater tolerance parameters for diamond specifications in customs matters.
