Compliance steps

1
Confirm that the proposed import does not fall under the ITC (HS) Prohibited category before placing any purchase order. A Prohibited classification under DGFT policy bars import outright; consignments arriving without a valid exemption or carve-out authority will be liable to confiscation and re-export at the importer's cost.

Where the goods constitute waste material, ensure compliance with Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding Import Policy of the ITC (HS) and with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 before dispatch. Upload the Health Certificate (document code 6360AQ) in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating neats foot oil derived from bone or waste as a standard animal fat and filing without a Prohibited-category assessment. The ITC (HS) Prohibited status is absolute at the bill-of-entry stage — customs officers have no discretionary out-of-charge authority absent a specific DGFT exemption. Separately, if any portion of the consignment is characterised as waste, Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste Rules trigger an entirely distinct compliance track requiring advance authorisation before the goods cross the border.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1506 00 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this product family. Import is instead governed by the ITC (HS) Prohibited import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, which bars import outright absent a specific DGFT exemption or carve-out authority.

What document must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

A Health Certificate under document code 6360AQ must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge; the proper officer is required to verify this upload on all bills of entry, including PGA-facilitated bills not routed through the PGA for NOC.

Does the Hazardous Waste Rules overlay apply to all consignments under this CTI?

The Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 overlay under Rules 12 and 13 applies specifically where the imported goods constitute waste; it operates in addition to, and not in substitution of, the base Prohibited-import status under the ITC (HS) policy.
