Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will verify this upload at the out-of-charge stage for all PGA-facilitated bills.

2
Upload the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge. Labels must comply with FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; certain labelling deficiencies may be rectified at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence but omitting either the Certificate of Analysis (0010FS) or the Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS) from the e-Sanchit docket. All three document codes must be present before the proper officer grants out-of-charge; a missing document triggers detention and accruing demurrage at the designated port, and the rectifiable-labelling dispensation covers only specified label deficiencies — it does not cure an absent Certificate of Analysis.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1509 90 10 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers edible grade olive oil. 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 Specimen Copy of Label uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

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

Three mandatory codes apply: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplements (0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS); all three must be present before the proper officer issues out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies on imported olive oil consignments be rectified at the port?

Yes, but only for the specific labelling information listed in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022 and clarified by CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus — rectification is by a single non-detachable sticker affixed at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection, and it does not extend to substantive safety or composition information.
