Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence and ensure the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS), the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), and the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) are uploaded in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will verify these uploads prior to granting out-of-charge.

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. Non-designated port arrival renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export.

Rectify any labelling deficiencies permissible under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date of expiry — at the customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection by the authorised officer, using a single non-detachable sticker affixed next to the principal display panel without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a valid FSSAI Import Licence alone secures out-of-charge. Both the Certificate of Analysis (0010FS) and the Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS) must be independently uploaded in e-Sanchit; a missing or expired document code triggers detention at the port even where the licence itself is current. Labelling rectification is available only for the specific deficiencies enumerated under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — it does not extend to absent mandatory declarations, which remain grounds for refusal of out-of-charge.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1517 10 22 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers linoxyn or solid margarine under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence, Certificate of Analysis, and Specimen Copy of Label required at the bill-of-entry stage.

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

Three documents are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010FS), Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), and FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001); all must be uploaded before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies be rectified after the consignment arrives at the designated port?

Yes, but only for the specific labelling information permitted under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 as clarified by CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and FSSAI order dated 18-11-2022 — rectification must occur at a customs bonded warehouse using a non-detachable sticker before visual inspection by the authorised officer.
