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 (document code 0010FS) and Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); customs out-of-charge will not be granted until all three documents are verified in e-Sanchit.

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point as required under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at non-designated ports are liable to detention and do not qualify for the rectifiable-labelling dispensation available at customs bonded warehouses.

3
Where labelling deficiencies exist, rectification is permitted at the customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection by the authorised officer, by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label. This dispensation covers per-serve RDA contribution and expiry-date information per the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 only; missing PGA documents are not rectifiable under this scheme.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the rectifiable-labelling dispensation with a general cure for documentation deficiencies. The FSSAI rectifiable-labelling regime under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus covers specific label-text omissions only — per-serve RDA percentages, best-before and expiry-date formatting — and does not excuse a missing FSSAI Import Licence or an absent Certificate of Analysis. A consignment arriving without document codes 911001 or 0010FS uploaded in e-Sanchit will be detained at the designated port, accumulating demurrage, until the clearance documents are regularised through FSSAI.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1515 11 00 require BIS certification?

No, crude linseed oil is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this fixed vegetable oil. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with mandatory FSSAI Import Licence, Certificate of Analysis, and designated food-import port requirements.

Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory at the bill of entry for this tariff line?

Three documents must be uploaded before out-of-charge: the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001), Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS), and Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), per the CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

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

Yes, but only within the narrow scope of the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 dispensation — per-serve RDA contribution figures and expiry-date details may be rectified by non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse before authorised-officer inspection, as permitted under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus dated 28-06-2022.
