Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence before filing the bill of entry and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001.

  2. 2
    Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export at the importer's cost.

  3. 3
    Verify label compliance with FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment. Permissible rectification of specified labelling deficiencies — including per-serve RDA percentages and expiry date format — may be carried out at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, without altering original label information, subject to verification by the authorised FSSAI officer.
    CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022; CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023; FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022 under F.No.Import/TFM/Apex/2022-FSSAI; FSSAI Letter 1828/Misc Matters/FSSAI/Imports-2021 dated 17-06-2022
A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping a consignment with label deficiencies and assuming all of them qualify for port-level rectification. The rectifiable-label dispensation under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus covers only the specific parameters enumerated — per-serve RDA contribution and expiry-date format — applied by affixing a non-detachable sticker at the customs-bonded warehouse before FSSAI inspection; deficiencies outside that enumerated list are non-rectifiable and expose the consignment to re-export or destruction.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 1106 30 20 require BIS certification?
No, singoda flour falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers milled products of Chapter 8 fruits. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with an FSSAI Import Licence and food-import entry-point restriction as the operative requirements.
Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?
Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Food Grade Certificate (6570FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS); all must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer issues out-of-charge.
Can labelling corrections be made after the consignment arrives at the Indian port?
Yes, but only for the specific deficiencies permitted under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — namely per-serve RDA percentages and expiry-date format — carried out at a customs-bonded warehouse by non-detachable sticker before FSSAI visual inspection; all other labelling deficiencies must be corrected before shipment.
