Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain the Sanitary Import Permit from Animal Quarantine and Certification Services before shipment dispatch. Upload the permit in e-Sanchit under document code 911DF1 and quote the resulting IRN on the bill of entry to obtain the AQCS NOC, as required for CTIs listed in Annexure A (Sl. No. 3) of Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.

  2. 2
    Upload the veterinary health certificate issued by the competent authority of the exporting country (document code 853AQ1) and the laboratory report or Certificate of Analysis (document code 001AQ1) in e-Sanchit. Additionally, upload the CITES certificate (document code 626000) and the health certificate (document code 6360AQ) before the bill of entry is filed.
    CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022 · ITC (HS) policy condition 3, Chapter 05
  3. 3
    Confirm that the consignment satisfies WCCB CITES requirements — the species of origin must not be listed on a CITES Appendix in a manner that prohibits or restricts commercial import. A valid CITES export permit from the exporting country and the CITES import permit (document code 626000) are required at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating AQCS sanitary clearance as the only gate and filing the bill of entry without the CITES certificate. WCCB oversight is a concurrent primary-regulator requirement: consignments where document code 626000 is absent in e-Sanchit are detained regardless of a current Sanitary Import Permit, and detention at an animal-quarantine port accumulates demurrage while the CITES documentation is sourced retrospectively — a process that can take weeks.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 0506 10 29 require BIS certification?
No, acid-treated bones and ossein fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by Animal Quarantine and Certification Services sanitary clearance and Wildlife Crime Control Bureau CITES oversight, with the ITC (HS) policy condition 3 of Chapter 05 administered by DGFT.
Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory at the bill of entry for this tariff line?
Four document codes must be uploaded: 911DF1 (Sanitary Import Permit from AQCS, with the IRN quoted for NOC), 853AQ1 (veterinary health certificate), 001AQ1 (laboratory report or Certificate of Analysis), and 626000 (CITES certificate), plus 6360AQ (health certificate) — all per CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.
What happens if the CITES certificate is missing but the AQCS Sanitary Import Permit is in order?
The consignment will be detained at the port of import pending WCCB clearance; out-of-charge cannot be granted until all mandatory documents, including the CITES certificate under document code 626000, are uploaded and verified in e-Sanchit.
