Compliance steps

1
Register the import under the Online Import Monitoring System with DGFT before filing the bill of entry. Registration is mandatory for all consignments where the bill of lading (shipped on board) is dated on or before 31 March 2026; consignments without a valid OIMS registration are not entitled to the Free-import status.
DGFT Notification 16/2025-26 dated 31-05-2025; DGFT Notification 50/2023 dated 08-12-2023
2
Confirm at the bill of entry that the bill of lading (shipped on board) date falls on or before 31 March 2026, as the policy validity is tied to the shipped-on-board date and not the arrival date. Consignments with a shipped-on-board date beyond 31 March 2026 will fall outside the current Free-import window and require a fresh policy review.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the absence of a Minimum Import Price or port restriction with the absence of any import condition. The OIMS registration requirement remains operative throughout the Free-import window, and consignments that arrive without a completed OIMS registration are treated as non-compliant with the ITC (HS) policy condition, exposing the importer to detention and DGFT-policy enforcement regardless of the duty status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 0713 10 10 require BIS certification?

No, dried yellow peas fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, currently on a Free-import basis subject to Online Import Monitoring System registration, valid for bills of lading issued on or before 31 March 2026.

Is there a Minimum Import Price or designated-port restriction for yellow peas under this policy window?

No. DGFT Notification 16/2025-26 dated 31 May 2025 explicitly confirms that import is free without any MIP condition and without port restriction, provided the bill of lading is issued on or before 31 March 2026 and OIMS registration is completed.

What happens if the current Free-import policy window expires on 31 March 2026 without a further extension?

Consignments with bills of lading issued after 31 March 2026 would revert to the default ITC (HS) Restricted-import status unless DGFT issues a further extension notification; importers should monitor DGFT notifications and avoid placing purchase orders without confirming the policy position for the applicable bill of lading date.
