A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading only the AQCS Health Certificate (6360AQ) while omitting either the veterinary Health Certificate (853AQ1) or the Certificate of Analysis (001AQ1). CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus imposes these as distinct, separately coded documents with separate Annexure entries — a consignment missing any one of the three codes will be held by the Proper Officer pending upload, attracting detention, demurrage, and ground rent until the deficiency is rectified.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 1505 00 10 require BIS certification?
No, wool alcohol and lanolin alcohol are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by Animal Quarantine and Certification Services sanitary clearance, with a mandatory veterinary Health Certificate and Certificate of Analysis required at the bill of entry under CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus.
What are the three e-Sanchit document codes required for this tariff line?
The three mandatory codes are 6360AQ (AQCS Health Certificate), 853AQ1 (veterinary Health Certificate from the exporting country's competent authority), and 001AQ1 (laboratory report or Certificate of Analysis), all per CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.
What happens if the bill of entry is PGA-facilitated and not routed through AQCS for a NOC?
The Proper Officer is required to verify independently that all mandatory documents — 6360AQ, 853AQ1, and 001AQ1 — have been uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; failure to upload any document results in detention of the consignment.
