Fixed vegetable oils (chul moogra, mawra, kokam, sal)

PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 1515 90 10 covers fixed vegetable oils — chul moogra oil, mawra oil, kokam oil, tobacco seed oil, and sal oil — which attract a mandatory Certificate of Analysis upload requirement at the bill-of-entry stage under the food and supplement safety overlay. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) administers the applicable ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 15, and the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge is granted.

Compliance steps

Obtain a Certificate of Analysis covering food and supplement parameters for the specific oil being imported (chul moogra, mawra, kokam, tobacco seed, or sal). Upload the certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 0010FS before filing the bill of entry.

2
Verify that the consignment's ITC (HS) import-policy status under Chapter 15 is satisfied before the bill of entry is presented. The proper officer will verify that document code 0010FS is uploaded and will withhold out-of-charge until the upload is confirmed.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is arriving at the port of entry without a pre-shipment Certificate of Analysis uploaded in e-Sanchit: because the CCR flags these bills for mandatory document verification before out-of-charge, the absence of document code 0010FS at the time of bill-of-entry assessment results in consignment detention and accumulation of demurrage and ground rent while the certificate is sourced retrospectively. The Certificate of Analysis must be product-specific — a single certificate covering a mixture of oil types is routinely rejected by the proper officer.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1515 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, fixed vegetable oils under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative requirement is the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS) uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge, under the DGFT-administered ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 15.

Is document code 0010FS required for every oil variant listed under HSN 1515 90 10?

Yes. The mandatory Certificate of Analysis upload under document code 0010FS applies to all five oil variants covered by this CTI — chul moogra oil, mawra oil, kokam oil, tobacco seed oil, and sal oil — and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

What happens if the Certificate of Analysis is not uploaded before the bill of entry is assessed?

The proper officer is required to withhold out-of-charge until the mandatory document is uploaded in e-Sanchit; the consignment remains detained at the port, accruing demurrage and ground rent, until document code 0010FS is on record.
