HSN 1503 00 00 (lard stearin, lard oil, oleostearin, oleo-oil and tallow oil, not emulsified or mixed or otherwise prepared) is Prohibited for import under the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). A Health Certificate is mandated as a documentary condition at the bill-of-entry stage, and customs out-of-charge will not be granted until it is verified in e-Sanchit.

No import licence or conditional exemption pathway is described in the applicable policy; importers must not ship this product to India without first obtaining explicit DGFT authorisation, if any becomes available.ITC (HS) Prohibited import policy, Chapter 15 — DGFT
- 2Where a bill of entry is nonetheless filed, the proper officer will verify that the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) has been uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge. Absence of this document results in detention of the consignment.DGFT CCR — document code 6360AQ; e-Sanchit mandatory-document requirement
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the animal-origin Health Certificate converts a Prohibited consignment into a clearable one. The Health Certificate is a necessary documentary condition at the bill of entry, but it does not override the Prohibited-import classification under the ITC (HS) policy; a consignment detained for policy prohibition faces confiscation and cannot be regularised by document upload alone. Confirm DGFT policy status before placing any purchase order.
