Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. Also upload the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS; the customs proper officer is directed to verify both uploads are present before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through one of the designated food-import entry points, in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Import of food products through non-designated ports is not permitted and will result in consignment detention.

3
Ensure label compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before arrival. Limited labelling rectifications — including per-serve percentage contribution to RDA and expiry date addition — may be carried out at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, provided the rectification is verified by an authorised FSSAI officer prior to out-of-charge inspection.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence as fully covering clearance while overlooking the Specimen Copy of Label upload (document code 0110FS) as a distinct mandatory e-Sanchit obligation. A consignment with a current licence but a missing or non-compliant label upload will be held at the designated port pending FSSAI authorised-officer review; label rectification at the bonded warehouse is available only for the specific deficiencies listed in the CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs framework, not for a wholesale absence of required label information.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 30 10 require BIS certification?

No, liquid glucose falls 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 FSSAI Import Licence and label-compliance requirements verified at the bill of entry.

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

Two mandatory uploads are required: the FSSAI Import Licence under document code 911001 and the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS. Both must be present in e-Sanchit before the customs proper officer may grant out-of-charge.

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

Yes, but only for the specific items listed in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — such as per-serve RDA contribution and expiry date — and only by affixing a single non-detachable sticker at a customs bonded warehouse before authorised-officer inspection; core label information may not be altered.
