A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment without first uploading the food grade certificate in e-Sanchit, on the assumption that guar meal as an industrial feed ingredient falls outside the food-documentation regime. The document code 6570FS is a mandatory e-Sanchit requirement regardless of the end-use of the meal; detention pending document upload accrues demurrage and ground rent from the date of vessel arrival.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 1106 10 10 require BIS certification?
No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers guar meal or flour of dried leguminous vegetables. Import compliance for this tariff line is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory food grade certificate (document code 6570FS) required at the bill of entry.
What is document code 6570FS and who issues it?
Document code 6570FS is the food grade certificate required to be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge; it must be obtained from the competent authority in the exporting country or the issuing body designated for food-safety certification of the consignment.
What happens if the food grade certificate is not uploaded before the bill of entry is filed?
The customs proper officer will withhold out-of-charge until document code 6570FS is uploaded and verified in e-Sanchit, resulting in port detention, demurrage, and ground rent accruing against the importer for the period of non-compliance.
