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 Certificate of Analysis (food and supplement, document code 0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); the proper officer will verify all three are present before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through one of the designated food-import entry points mandated under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention irrespective of FSSAI licence validity.

3
Ensure label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before dispatch. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and expiry-date co-annotation — may be remedied at a customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, without altering the original label, subject to authorised-officer verification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the FSSAI rectifiable-labelling dispensation with a general labelling grace period. The rectification window applies only to the specific deficiencies enumerated in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus — it does not excuse missing mandatory FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 particulars. A consignment detained for a non-rectifiable labelling deficiency cannot be released by sticker correction alone and faces re-export or confiscation under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1514 99 10 require BIS certification?

No. Refined colza oil of edible grade is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with DGFT-administered entry-point restrictions under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022.

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

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Certificate of Analysis — food and supplement (document code 0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); all must be uploaded before out-of-charge is granted.

Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives at port?

Only the specific deficiencies listed in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus are rectifiable — by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse before authorised-officer inspection; non-enumerated deficiencies are not eligible for port-level rectification.
