Diplomatic import certification requires official-use confirmation, restricted disposal, goods schedules, and customs verification before clearance.

Appendix IA requires certification for non-motor-vehicle goods imported for the official use of diplomatic missions, consular posts and trade representations. The certificate confirms official use and restricts sale or disposal in India without prior concurrence and payment of applicable customs duty. It records intended residential or office use, goods and transport particulars, quantity and value, and requires the official seal and authorised signature. Customs verifies arrival details, the signature and seal, and the particulars before passing the goods under a bill of entry.
