Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence before the consignment departs the origin country. Upload the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and a Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry; out-of-charge will not be granted until both documents are verified.

2
Route the consignment exclusively through a designated food-import entry point in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export.

3
Ensure all labelling meets the requirements of the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Permissible rectification at customs bonded warehouses — such as affixing a single non-detachable sticker covering per-serve dietary contribution or expiry date — must be completed before visual inspection by the authorised officer and must not alter original label information.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is arriving at port with an FSSAI Import Licence in order but with non-compliant or incomplete labelling, on the assumption that the rectifiable-labelling dispensation will bridge all deficiencies at no cost. The dispensation under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 is limited to specified items — per-serve dietary contribution and expiry/best-before date — and only where the manufacturer itself supplies the corrective information; broader labelling failures trigger re-inspection, ground rent, and potential re-export rather than simple rectification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 0804 50 22 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers fresh or dried mangoes; import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with the FSSAI Import Licence and designated food-import entry-point requirements as the operative obligations.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

The FSSAI Import Licence under document code 911001 and the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the customs proper officer will grant out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies on a Banganapalli mango consignment be rectified at port?

Only specified deficiencies are eligible — per-serve percentage dietary contribution and expiry or best-before date — and only where the corrective information is supplied by the manufacturer itself; rectification must be completed at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker that does not alter original label content.
