Compliance steps

1
Ensure the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (document code 0010FS), and specimen copy of label (document code 0110FS) are all uploaded in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Customs out-of-charge will not be granted until the proper officer verifies the presence of all three documents 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. Diversion to a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export.

3
Address any labelling deficiencies before customs visual inspection by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel at a customs-bonded warehouse, without altering the original label. Rectification under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 is limited to specified parameters — including per-serve dietary allowance contributions and date of expiry — and must be carried out by the manufacturer or verified by the authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating a valid FSSAI Import Licence as sufficient and neglecting the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS) as a separately mandated upload. Where PGA-facilitated bills bypass the NOC routing, the proper officer is specifically instructed to verify all three document codes — 911001, 0010FS, and 0110FS — before out-of-charge; a missing Certificate of Analysis results in consignment detention even when the licence and label specimen are present.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1514 99 90 require BIS certification?

No, rape, colza or mustard oil fractions fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with DGFT and CBIC policy overlays on designated entry points.

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

Three documents are mandatory: FSSAI Import Licence (911001), Certificate of Analysis for food and supplement (0010FS), and specimen copy of label (0110FS); all must be present in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge per CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus.

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

Yes, but only for the specific parameters listed in FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve dietary allowance and expiry date — rectification must occur at a customs-bonded warehouse before visual inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker that does not alter the original label, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022.
