Ensure the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) issued by the competent authority of the exporting country is uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. The proper officer is required to verify its presence before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without uploading the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) in e-Sanchit, treating it as a post-clearance formality. The proper officer is directed to withhold out-of-charge until the document is present in the system; consignments held at port attract demurrage and ground rent that accumulates rapidly for perishable chilled offal.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 0206 29 00 require BIS certification?

No, edible meat offal is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Restricted-import status under Schedule I of the ITC (HS) Import Policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Health Certificate overlay at the bill-of-entry stage.

What is the document code for the Health Certificate and where must it be uploaded?

The Health Certificate carries document code 6360AQ and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed; the proper officer verifies its presence in the system as a condition of out-of-charge.

Can this tariff line be imported freely if an appropriate licence or authorisation is held?

Import is Restricted under Schedule I of the ITC (HS) policy, meaning it is not freely importable and requires compliance with the applicable policy conditions; importers should confirm the precise conditions in force with DGFT before shipment.
