2
Upload the food grade certificate (document code 6570FS) in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will verify this upload before granting out-of-charge; failure to upload results in the consignment being held pending compliance.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the food grade certificate as an afterthought obtainable after arrival. Because the proper officer is directed to verify document code 6570FS in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge, a consignment arriving without a pre-uploaded certificate faces detention and accruing demurrage — not a rectifiable labelling defect but a missing clearance document that cannot be substituted post-arrival without delay.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1106 20 10 require BIS certification?

No, sago flour and powder fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) Restricted-import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory food grade certificate required at the bill of entry.

What is document code 6570FS and where must it be submitted?

Document code 6570FS is the food grade certificate required for this tariff line and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed; the proper officer will not grant out-of-charge until the upload is verified.

Is there any exemption from the Restricted-import status for sago flour under this CTI?

The CCR does not record any exemption carve-outs for CTI 1106 20 10; the Restricted status applies to all imports, and policy conditions under ITC (HS) Chapter 11 must be satisfied without exception.
