Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) before filing the bill of entry and upload it in e-Sanchit. The customs proper officer will verify this document — along with the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) and the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) — before granting out-of-charge.
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 only through a designated food-import entry point as mandated under 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 confiscation.

3
Ensure the label complies with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage dietary contribution and expiry date — may be corrected at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker before visual inspection, per the CBIC rectifiable-labelling dispensation.
CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus dated 28-06-2022; FSSAI Letter 1828/Misc Matters/FSSAI/Imports-2021 dated 17-06-2022; FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating label deficiencies as curable at any stage, when in fact the rectifiable-labelling dispensation applies only to specified information items — per-serve dietary contribution and expiry/best-before dates — and only when the correction is made by the manufacturer's own instruction before the authorised officer's inspection. A label missing mandatory FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 fields beyond these specified items is not rectifiable at port and exposes the consignment to detention, re-export order, or confiscation under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
