Rattans for plaiting and basketwork
HSN 1401 20 00 (Rattans) is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) as a plant-quarantine overlay at the bill-of-entry stage. The Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.

- ITC (HS) policy compliance declaration from DGFT

- 2Confirm at the bill-of-entry stage that the Phytosanitary Certificate has been uploaded in e-Sanchit. Customs out-of-charge will not be granted until the proper officer has verified that document code 851000 is present and correctly linked to the consignment.CCR PGA-facilitated-bill verification requirement · document code 851000
The single most common error on this tariff line is treating rattans as an unregulated agricultural commodity and shipping without a Phytosanitary Certificate. The certificate must be issued by the exporting country's official plant-protection authority and uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed; a certificate obtained after vessel departure cannot cure the documentation gap at the port and will result in consignment detention pending regularisation.
