Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) before filing the bill of entry. Upload the licence in e-Sanchit; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until the FSSAI Import Licence is verified in the system.

  2. 2
    Upload the Certificate of Analysis for food and supplements (document code 0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. The proper officer is required to verify all three mandatory documents — 911001, 0010FS, and 0110FS — before granting out-of-charge.

  3. 3
    Route the consignment only through a food-import entry point notified under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Labelling deficiencies permissible for port rectification are limited to specified parameters under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; any rectification must be carried out at a customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is presenting the FSSAI Import Licence at the bill of entry while the Certificate of Analysis (0010FS) and Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS) remain unuploaded in e-Sanchit — customs officers treating PGA-facilitated bills will still verify all three document codes before out-of-charge, and an incomplete upload set triggers detention. The rectifiable-labelling dispensation covers defined shortfalls under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 only; substantive food-safety labelling non-compliance cannot be rectified at the port and will result in consignment rejection.
