Compliance steps

1

File the bill of entry only after the Restricted-status requirement is satisfied; consignments arriving without this authorisation are liable to detention and re-export.

Upload the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is presented for out-of-charge. The proper officer must verify the document is present in e-Sanchit for all PGA-facilitated bills not routed through the PGA for NOC.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming that possession of a Health Certificate alone resolves the Restricted-import status. The Health Certificate (6360AQ) is a documentary prerequisite for out-of-charge, but the Restricted classification under Schedule I requires a separate ITC (HS) authorisation or applicable policy condition; absence of that authorisation renders the consignment liable to seizure regardless of document upload.

What is the document code for the Health Certificate required at the bill of entry?

The Health Certificate carries document code 6360AQ and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge on the consignment.

Can fresh or chilled swine offal be imported freely if the Health Certificate is in order?

No. The tariff line is Restricted under Schedule I of the ITC (HS) Import Policy, meaning a specific authorisation or applicable policy condition must be satisfied in addition to the Health Certificate before import is permitted.
