Compliance steps

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

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import port in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Diversion to a non-designated port results in consignment detention pending port-compliance clearance.

3
Ensure the product label meets all requirements of the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and dual date marking. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies may be corrected at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker on the principal display panel, prior to authorised-officer inspection.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is submitting a label that omits the per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance calculated on the basis of the prescribed nutrient reference values under the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — a deficiency that is rectifiable at the bonded warehouse but only by a sticker affixed by the manufacturer, not the importer. An importer-applied label correction does not satisfy the FSSAI dispensation, and the authorised officer may withhold out-of-charge until the manufacturer-issued correction is verified.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1508 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, deodorized ground-nut oil falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence and designated-port requirements operative at the bill of entry.

Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory for this tariff line at the bill of entry?

Three documents must be uploaded: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (0010FS), and specimen copy of label (0110FS), per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus and the FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022.

Can labelling deficiencies on imported ground-nut oil be rectified after arrival in India?

Yes, but only within the scope prescribed under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus and the FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 — rectification must be carried out at a customs bonded warehouse before inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker that does not alter the original label information.
