Crude cottonseed oil, gossypol removed or retained
HSN 1512 21 00 (Crude cottonseed oil, whether or not gossypol has been removed) is subject to food-safety documentation requirements under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with a Certificate of Analysis mandatory at the bill-of-entry stage. No additional sectoral PGA licence has been notified for this tariff line beyond the e-Sanchit document verification carried out by the proper officer at customs.

- 2Ensure the bill of entry package is complete before presentation to the proper officer. Where the bill has not been routed through a PGA for NOC, customs will independently verify that document code 0010FS has been uploaded; absence of the Certificate of Analysis will result in detention pending upload.e-Sanchit document code 0010FS · CCR customs verification instruction
The single most common error on this tariff line is treating the Certificate of Analysis as a secondary document rather than a clearance-blocking prerequisite. Where the consignment has not been routed through a PGA for an NOC, the proper officer is specifically instructed to verify document code 0010FS in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge — an absent or misclassified upload results in detention, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the correct document is filed.
