Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and upload it in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer must verify this document is uploaded prior to granting out-of-charge; bills facilitated without PGA routing are subject to direct verification by the proper officer.

2
Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) and a Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry. Labelling deficiencies permissible for rectification at the port — including per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before dates — must be corrected by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at the customs bonded warehouse before the authorised officer's visual inspection.

3
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. Non-designated port of arrival renders the consignment liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating port-of-arrival and labelling compliance as post-clearance formalities. Mango pulp as a processed food product falls within the high-risk food designation: arrival at a non-designated port triggers immediate detention irrespective of FSSAI licence currency, and labelling rectification under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 must be completed at the customs bonded warehouse before — not after — the authorised officer's inspection; rectification carried out after inspection does not qualify for the dispensation.

Three documents are mandatory: the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000), and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); all must be uploaded before customs out-of-charge.

Which labelling deficiencies can be rectified at the port, and what is the procedure?

Per-serve RDA percentage contribution and expiry or best-before date information may be rectified at the customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, provided the information is supplied by the manufacturer and verified by the authorised officer before visual inspection, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022.
