Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. Also upload the Certificate of Analysis (food and supplement, document code 0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); the customs proper officer will verify all three documents before granting out-of-charge.

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

3
Ensure the import label conforms to the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment. Where permissible labelling deficiencies exist — such as missing per-serve RDA contribution or expiry-date format — rectification must be carried out at a customs bonded warehouse using a single non-detachable sticker affixed next to the principal display panel, without altering the original label, prior to visual inspection by the FSSAI authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most frequent misstep on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence upload as the complete documentation obligation, overlooking that the Certificate of Analysis (0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS) are independently mandatory e-Sanchit uploads. A bill of entry lacking any one of these three document codes is held by the proper officer without out-of-charge, generating demurrage and ground rent while the shortfall is corrected — a situation not covered by the rectifiable-labelling dispensation, which applies only to label content deficiencies, not to absent clearance documents.

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS). All three must be uploaded before the customs proper officer will grant out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies on colza oil consignments be rectified at the port?

Yes, subject to conditions.
