HSN Code Details
Worked bone, tortoise-shell and horn articles: carved and polished items such as combs, boxes and ornaments made from bone or horn.
Horn and bone from cattle are generally permitted with origin papers; tortoise-shell is prohibited under CITES, so declare species. Wildlife-derived and natural-material goods are heavily regulated: ivory, tortoiseshell, coral and similar materials fall under CITES and the Wildlife Protection Act, so legal sourcing proof and permits are essential, and many countries ban the trade entirely; carved items need origin and age declarations.
