Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence before shipment and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 at the bill of entry stage. The Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must also be uploaded in e-Sanchit; the proper officer will verify both documents before granting out-of-charge.

  2. 2
    Ensure the consignment is routed through one of the designated food-import entry points per General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at non-designated ports will be detained by customs pending compliance.

  3. 3
    Verify pre-shipment label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Specific deficiencies — per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and the date of expiry alongside best-before date — may be rectified at customs-bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, provided the manufacturer supplies the corrected information and an authorised FSSAI officer verifies it before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating label rectification as a routine fallback rather than a narrow exception. Port-stage rectification under Regulation 6 of the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 is restricted to the specific deficiencies enumerated in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs; labels with structural non-conformities — missing mandatory declarations or altered original information — cannot be rectified at the port and expose the consignment to re-export or confiscation by the FSSAI authorised officer.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 0713 32 00 require BIS certification?
No. Dried adzuki beans fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with ITC (HS) policy oversight by DGFT and designated-port restrictions under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022.
Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory at the bill of entry for this HSN?
Two documents are mandatory: the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); both must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.
Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives at the Indian port?
Only for the specific deficiencies permitted under Regulation 6 of the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 and CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs — namely per-serve RDA contribution and expiry date alongside best-before date — and only at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker verified by an FSSAI authorised officer before visual inspection.
