Compliance steps

1
Obtain an FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) before filing the bill of entry, and upload the licence together with the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) and the Food Grade Certificate (document code 6570FS) in e-Sanchit. The proper officer will verify all three documents are present before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through a food-import entry point designated under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at non-designated ports are liable to detention and may not be granted out-of-charge regardless of FSSAI document compliance.

3
Ensure labels comply with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and expiry/best-before alignment — may be corrected at a customs bonded warehouse using a single non-detachable sticker affixed next to the principal display panel, provided the correction is by the manufacturer and verified by the authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence as the sole gate and neglecting the Food Grade Certificate (document code 6570FS), which is an independent e-Sanchit upload requirement. Customs out-of-charge is refused if any of the three mandatory documents — 911001, 0110FS, or 6570FS — is missing, even when the licence itself is current and the consignment is otherwise compliant with FSS labelling requirements.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1104 22 00 require BIS certification?

No, worked oat grains are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence, Food Grade Certificate, and Specimen Label all required as mandatory e-Sanchit uploads.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (code 911001), Specimen Copy of Label (code 0110FS), and Food Grade Certificate (code 6570FS); all must be uploaded before the proper officer can issue out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives in India?

Yes, but only within the categories permitted under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — corrections must be made at a customs bonded warehouse using a non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, and the date-of-expiry correction requires the information to originate from the manufacturer and be verified by the authorised officer.
