Yak tail hair
Yak tail hair for brush making
HSN 0502 90 20 (Yak tail hair) is subject to Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS) sanitary clearance and the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) CITES certification requirement, with import governed under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 05 administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Mandatory e-Sanchit uploads — CITES certificate, health certificate, and Sanitary Import Permit — must be in place before customs out-of-charge.
- Sanitary Import Permit from AQCS
- CITES certificate from WCCB
- Health Certificate from AQCS
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
- 1Obtain the AQCS Sanitary Import Permit (document code 911DF1) before consignment dispatch and upload it in e-Sanchit. Quote the IRN generated in e-Sanchit pertaining to the Sanitary Import Permit to obtain the AQCS NOC at the bill of entry, as required for CTIs listed in Annexure A (Sl. No. 3) of CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 05
- 2Upload the veterinary health certificate issued by the exporting country (document code 853AQ1) and the laboratory report or Certificate of Analysis (document code 001AQ1) in e-Sanchit. Also upload the CITES certificate (document code 626000) confirming compliance with WCCB wildlife-trade controls before out-of-charge.CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022, Annexure A Sl. No. 1 and Sl. No. 2
The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the AQCS health certificate while overlooking the independent CITES certificate requirement. Yak tail hair falls within the WCCB-administered wildlife-trade controls, and a consignment presenting complete AQCS documentation but missing the CITES certificate (document code 626000) will be detained at the port of import pending WCCB clearance — accruing demurrage and ground rent that the AQCS NOC alone cannot remedy.
