Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. Also upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) and the Food Grade Certificate (document code 6570FS); the proper officer will verify all three before granting out-of-charge.

Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point as required under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Non-designated port arrivals attract detention and are subject to DGFT Restricted-import enforcement.

3
Ensure label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before visual inspection. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve RDA percentage and expiry date alongside best-before date — may be corrected at the customs bound warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is conflating the rectifiable-labelling dispensation with a general licence to import non-compliant labelled product. The rectification window — confined to per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date discrepancies — must be exercised at the customs bound warehouse before the FSSAI authorised officer conducts visual inspection; any attempt to rectify after inspection has commenced is treated as non-compliance and exposes the consignment to re-export or confiscation under the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1106 30 30 require BIS certification?

No. Mango flour is 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 mandatory FSSAI Import Licence, food grade certificate, and label compliance as the operative requirements.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for mango flour imports?

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), and Food Grade Certificate (document code 6570FS); absence of any one will prevent customs out-of-charge per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives at the port?

Only the specific deficiencies enumerated in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs — per-serve RDA percentage and expiry date alongside best-before date — may be rectified at the customs bound warehouse by non-detachable sticker before the FSSAI authorised officer's visual inspection; all other labelling deficiencies require the goods to be re-exported or confiscated.
