Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence before dispatch and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 at the bill of entry. Import through a State Trading Enterprise is mandatory under ITC (HS) policy per DGFT Notification 46/2015-20 dated 21-12-2020, subject to Para 2.20 of the Foreign Trade Policy; the STE channel must be confirmed before the purchase order is placed.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the STE-channel requirement as a formality and filing the bill of entry in the name of a private importer directly. Import is restricted to State Trading Enterprises (except STC) under Para 2.20 of the Foreign Trade Policy; a consignment arriving without a valid STE channel contract is treated as an unauthorised Restricted-import and is liable to confiscation, irrespective of whether the FSSAI Import Licence is otherwise current and uploaded.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1513 19 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers coconut oil fractions under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with a concurrent ITC (HS) Restricted-import overlay requiring import through State Trading Enterprises under DGFT Notification 46/2015-20.

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

Three documents are mandatory: the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), the Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (document code 0010FS), and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0010FS); all must be present in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge is granted.

Can labelling deficiencies be rectified at the port for this product?

Yes, but only for the specific labelling elements permitted under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — such as per-serve RDA percentages and expiry-date information provided by the manufacturer — and rectification must be carried out in a customs bonded warehouse by a single non-detachable sticker before inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.
