Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. Upload the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS in e-Sanchit concurrently; the customs proper officer will verify both documents are present before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment through a designated food-import entry point as required under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Import through a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

3
Where labelling deficiencies exist, rectify them at the customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection or re-inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer. Rectification is limited to the categories permitted under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve RDA contribution and best-before/expiry date (where provided by the manufacturer) — using a single non-detachable sticker affixed next to the principal display panel without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating a labelling deficiency as a routine port-rectification matter and presenting the consignment for inspection before the sticker correction is complete. The rectification must occur at the bonded warehouse before the authorised officer's visual inspection — not after — and any sticker that partially covers or obscures the original label text is treated as an alteration, converting a rectifiable deficiency into a label-non-compliance that grounds the consignment. Ensure the manufacturer has supplied the expiry/best-before date directly; an importer-applied date is not accepted under the dispensation.
