Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. Also upload the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until both documents are verified in e-Sanchit.

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point compliant with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

3
Address any labelling deficiencies before visual inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer. Rectifiable labelling information — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date of expiry alongside best-before date — may be corrected at a customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker on the principal display panel, without altering the original label, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022 and FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence upload as the sole clearance obligation and presenting the consignment at a non-designated port. An edible oil consignment arriving at a port that is not a notified food-import entry point under General Note 4(D) will be detained regardless of whether the FSSAI licence and label documents are current and correctly uploaded in e-Sanchit — detention accrues demurrage and ground rent from the date of arrival, and re-routing to a designated port requires a fresh bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1514 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, rape, colza or mustard oil fractions under this residual tariff line fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence and label compliance as the binding clearance requirements.

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

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling defects on imported edible oil consignments be rectified at the port?

Yes, specified rectifiable labelling information — including per-serve dietary allowance data and expiry date alongside best-before date — may be corrected at a customs bonded warehouse by affixing a non-detachable sticker, provided the original label is not altered and the rectification is verified by the authorised FSSAI officer before out-of-charge.
