Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence before the consignment is dispatched and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 at the bill of entry. A Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS) and a Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must also be uploaded before customs out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment through one of the designated food-import ports mandated under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Import through an undesignated port renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export under FSSAI import regulations.

3
Ensure the label conforms to the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before vessel departure. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and expiry date — may be corrected at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, without altering original label information, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that label deficiencies can be freely corrected at port without restriction. The rectification dispensation under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs applies only to the specific labelling elements listed — notably per-serve dietary allowance percentages and expiry dates — and only when the correction is made by the manufacturer or verified by the authorised officer before visual inspection; corrections to safety-parameter declarations or mandatory FSSAI statutory information fall outside the dispensation and trigger consignment hold.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1507 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, edible grade soya-bean oil falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with mandatory FSSAI Import Licence, Certificate of Analysis, and designated-port entry requirements.

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

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplements (document code 0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS). All three must be uploaded before the customs proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Are all Indian ports open for import of edible soya-bean oil?

No. Import is restricted to the designated food-import entry points under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022; consignments arriving at an undesignated port are liable to detention and, where clearance cannot be regularised, re-export at the importer's expense.
