HSN 1502 10 90 (Tallow, Other) is classified as Prohibited under the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT); no import of goods under this tariff line is permitted except through a valid PGA-routed NOC process. Where a bill of entry is PGA-facilitated, a Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge is granted.

- NOC from DGFT
- 1Treat this tariff line as Prohibited under the ITC (HS) import policy before placing any purchase order. No import is permissible without a PGA-routed NOC; filing a bill of entry without this clearance exposes the consignment to outright confiscation and the importer to enforcement action under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act.ITC (HS) import policy — Prohibited category, Chapter 15 · DGFT
- 2Where a PGA-facilitated bill of entry is filed, ensure the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) is uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge. Absence of this document at the bill-of-entry stage will result in consignment detention.ITC (HS) import policy, Chapter 15 — document code 6360AQ · e-Sanchit upload requirement
The most frequent error on this tariff line is conflating the Prohibited status with a Restricted-import regime that can be satisfied by producing a licence or NOC through normal channels. A Prohibited classification under ITC (HS) means import is barred as a matter of policy; the PGA-facilitated route is a narrow carve-out requiring active NOC routing, and any consignment that arrives without that prior clearance is liable to seizure and re-export or confiscation — not merely detention pending documentation.
