Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) before the bill of entry is filed and upload it in e-Sanchit. The proper officer will verify this upload prior to granting out-of-charge; consignments without a current FSSAI Import Licence are detained at the designated port.
CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023 · FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022 under F.No.Import/TFM/Apex/2022-FSSAI
2
Upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) and the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Label deficiencies permissible for port rectification under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve RDA percentage and expiry date — must be corrected by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs-bonded warehouse before inspection.

3
Route the consignment exclusively through one of the designated food-import entry points mandated under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Diversion to a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and DGFT-policy enforcement.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence but omitting the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000), which is an independent plant-health requirement verified separately by the proper officer in e-Sanchit. A missing Phytosanitary Certificate will stall out-of-charge even where the FSSAI clearance is current. The rectifiable-labelling dispensation applies only to the specific deficiencies listed in FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — it does not excuse a missing PGA clearance document.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1301 90 22 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers dammar batu or natural gums and resins. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence, Phytosanitary Certificate, and designated food-import port requirements applying at the bill of entry.

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

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), and Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000); all must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies on a dammar batu consignment be rectified at the port?

Yes, but only for the specific deficiencies permitted under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve RDA percentage and expiry date alongside best-before date — rectified by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs-bonded warehouse before inspection, as clarified under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus dated 28-06-2022.
