Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The Proper Officer will verify that both the FSSAI Import Licence and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) have been uploaded before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Ensure labelling conforms to FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; rectifiable labelling deficiencies may be corrected at customs bonded warehouses before inspection by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, per the FSSAI-CBIC rectifiable-labelling dispensation.

A word of counsel

The rectifiable-labelling dispensation under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus is frequently misread as a blanket right to relabel at the port; it is narrow and conditional. Only specific deficiencies listed in FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 — notably per-serve dietary contribution and expiry-date overlay — qualify, and correction must be carried out by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label. A missing or invalid FSSAI Import Licence is not a rectifiable deficiency and will result in detention of the consignment.

Does HSN 1702 19 10 require BIS certification?

No, other sugars in solid form are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence and designated food-import entry-point requirements applying at the bill of entry.

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