Compliance steps

1
Obtain an FSSAI Import Licence before the consignment is shipped and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001. Additionally upload the specimen copy of the label (document code 0110FS); the proper officer will verify both documents before granting out-of-charge.
CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022 · CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023 · FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022 under F.No.Import/TFM/Apex/2022-FSSAI
2
Route the consignment exclusively through one of the designated food-import entry points notified under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Entry through an undesignated port constitutes a violation of the ITC (HS) policy condition and exposes the consignment to detention and re-export.
General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022 · CBIC Instruction 05/2023-Cus dated 08-02-2023
3
Ensure label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date-of-expiry information. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies may be corrected at the customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence while overlooking the separate specimen-copy-of-label requirement (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit. An incomplete e-Sanchit upload — even with a current and valid FSSAI licence — is sufficient grounds for the proper officer to withhold out-of-charge, triggering demurrage and ground rent. Confirm that both document codes are successfully uploaded and IRN-acknowledged before the bill of entry is filed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 0804 50 24 require BIS certification?

No, Dasheri mangoes are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers fresh or dried fruit under Chapter 08. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with an FSSAI Import Licence and designated-port restriction as the operative requirements.

Which documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line at the bill of entry?

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the specimen copy of the label (document code 0110FS) must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies be rectified after the consignment arrives at port?

Yes, subject to conditions: specific labelling deficiencies permitted under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022 may be rectified at a customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, provided the correction is verified by the authorised officer and does not alter the original label.
