Attach a Non-GM Origin cum GM-Free Certificate to every consignment dispatched from the exporting country on or after 1 March 2021. A GM-free attestation on the Phytosanitary or Health Certificate is accepted provided it contains all information and declarations in the format issued under FSSAI order dated 21-08-2021.

Labelling deficiencies permissible for rectification under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve RDA percentages and best-before dates — must be corrected by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection by the authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a GM-free attestation that omits one or more of the mandatory declarations specified in the FSSAI order dated 21-08-2021 — customs will not treat a generic non-GMO statement on a commercial invoice as a compliant certificate. The GM-free declaration must appear on the Phytosanitary or Health Certificate itself, or as a standalone certificate, and must cover both origin and GM-free status for the specific consignment; a certificate that pre-dates the dispatch date or covers a different lot triggers detention and re-examination at the port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1514 99 30 require BIS certification?

No, refined rapeseed 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 concurrent PPQS phytosanitary clearance and a mandatory Non-GM Origin cum GM-Free Certificate for consignments dispatched on or after 1 March 2021.

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

The FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (0010FS) must all be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022.

Can labelling deficiencies be rectified at the port for this product?

Yes, but only for the specific deficiencies permitted under FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 and the FSSAI rectifiable-labelling regime — including per-serve RDA percentages and best-before dates — by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse; a missing PGA clearance document cannot be remedied through the labelling-rectification window.
