Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a veterinary Health Certificate issued by the competent authority of the exporting country and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 853AQ1 before filing the bill of entry. This document is required for CTIs listed in Annexure A (Sl. No. 1) of CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.

  2. 2
    Upload the Laboratory Report or Certificate of Analysis (COA) in e-Sanchit under document code 001AQ1 and the Health Certificate under document code 6360AQ before customs out-of-charge. Both documents must be present for AQCS NOC issuance on PGA-facilitated bills; the proper officer is required to verify their upload before releasing the consignment.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading only the general Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) and omitting the separate veterinary Health Certificate (document code 853AQ1) and the Certificate of Analysis (document code 001AQ1), which are distinct AQCS requirements listed under different Annexure entries of Circular 24/2022-Cus. Missing either of the two additional codes causes the bill of entry to remain flagged for AQCS verification, triggering detention and accumulating demurrage until all three documents are present in e-Sanchit.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 1505 00 90 require BIS certification?
No, wool grease and lanolin derivatives are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by Animal Quarantine and Certification Services clearance requirements, with a veterinary Health Certificate and Certificate of Analysis mandatory at the bill of entry under CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus.
Which e-Sanchit document codes are required for HSN 1505 00 90 at the bill of entry?
Three codes apply: 6360AQ (Health Certificate), 853AQ1 (veterinary Health Certificate issued by the exporting country's competent authority), and 001AQ1 (Laboratory Report or Certificate of Analysis); all must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.
What happens if the consignment is not routed through AQCS for a NOC?
On PGA-facilitated bills not routed through AQCS, the proper officer is required to verify that all mandatory documents — 6360AQ, 853AQ1, and 001AQ1 — are uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; consignments without the requisite uploads are detained pending AQCS clearance.
