Compliance steps

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

Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point compliant with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at non-designated ports are liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

3
Ensure labels comply with FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date of expiry alongside best-before date. Where rectification is needed, a single non-detachable sticker must be affixed at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection by the authorised officer, without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating labelling rectification as a post-clearance option. Rectification under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 must be completed at the customs bonded warehouse before the authorised officer's visual inspection — not after out-of-charge. Consignments cleared with unresolved labelling deficiencies that exceed the rectifiable categories face re-inspection, detention, and potential confiscation under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
