A Health Certificate is mandatory at the bill of entry stage, verified by the proper officer before out-of-charge is granted.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain the applicable import authorisation against the Restricted-import policy condition for this tariff line under Schedule-I of the ITC (HS) before placing the purchase order. Import without prior authorisation renders the consignment liable to confiscation and monetary penalty under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992.

  2. 2
    Ensure a Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) is uploaded in e-Sanchit at the time of filing the bill of entry. The proper officer is required to verify this upload before granting out-of-charge; a missing or invalid certificate will result in consignment detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is arriving at port with the Health Certificate in hand but failing to upload document code 6360AQ in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is assessed. Even where the underlying import authorisation is valid, customs cannot grant out-of-charge without the e-Sanchit upload, and detention of a frozen-meat consignment accumulates demurrage and cold-storage charges rapidly while the document deficiency is rectified.
