Where labelling deficiencies are identified at port, rectification is permitted only for the categories specified under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus — including per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date — by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse before re-inspection, without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the rectifiable-labelling dispensation as a broad permission to correct any labelling deficiency at port. The CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus list is exhaustive: labelling defects outside those specified categories cannot be rectified and render the consignment liable to refusal of out-of-charge, detention, and potential re-export. Verify full label compliance against the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment, not after arrival.
