Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence and ensure all three mandatory documents — FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (document code 0010FS), and specimen copy of label (document code 0110FS) — are uploaded in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Customs out-of-charge will not be granted until all three are verified in e-Sanchit.

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point as required under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at a non-designated port are liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

3
Ensure label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before arrival. Where permissible labelling deficiencies exist, rectification must be carried out at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering original label information, prior to visual inspection by the authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence alone and treating the Certificate of Analysis and specimen copy of label as supplementary rather than mandatory documents. All three document codes — 911001, 0010FS, and 0110FS — are independently verified by the proper officer in e-Sanchit; absence of any one triggers detention regardless of the licence being current. Label rectification is available only for the categories of deficiency specified in the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022; substantive non-conformances are not rectifiable and will result in consignment rejection.

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

Three document codes are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (0010FS), and specimen copy of label (0110FS); all must be uploaded before the proper officer grants out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus.

Can labelling deficiencies be rectified after arrival at port?

Yes, but only for the categories of deficiency permitted under Regulation 6 of the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022; rectification must be performed at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker before the authorised officer's inspection, without altering original label information.
