HSN 1302 19 15 (Of agarose) is subject to phytosanitary clearance under the Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, with a Phytosanitary Certificate required at the bill-of-entry stage. No sectoral licence or restricted-import policy applies beyond the mandatory phytosanitary documentation overlay administered at the port of entry.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) issued by the competent authority of the exporting country before shipment. Upload the certificate in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until document code 851000 is verified in the system.CCR mandatory-document requirement · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit upload obligation
- 2At the bill-of-entry stage, confirm the Phytosanitary Certificate covers the specific consignment lot and that it has been uploaded under document code 851000 in e-Sanchit. The proper officer is required to verify this upload before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills.CCR PGA-facilitated-bill verification requirement · document code 851000
The single most common error on this tariff line is shipping the consignment before the Phytosanitary Certificate is finalised, on the assumption that it can be furnished after arrival. The certificate must be uploaded in e-Sanchit as document code 851000 before out-of-charge is granted; a consignment arriving without it is detained at port, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the correct documentation is lodged.
