Compliance steps

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

2
Route the consignment through a designated food-import entry point in compliance with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention pending re-routing or confiscation.

3
Ensure labelling complies with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and date of expiry alongside best-before date — may be corrected at the customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker on the principal display panel before the authorised officer's inspection, provided corrections are made by or on behalf of the manufacturer.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is arriving at a non-designated port in the belief that the FSSAI Import Licence alone satisfies the entry requirements. The General Note 4(D) port restriction operates independently of the FSSAI licence: a consignment held at an undesignated port cannot be given out-of-charge regardless of licence currency, and demurrage and ground rent accumulate during any re-routing. Confirm the designated entry-point list before vessel departure.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 30 20 require BIS certification?

No, solid 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 designated food-import port requirements as the operative controls.

Which documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted?

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit; the Proper Officer will verify their presence before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills.

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

Yes, but only for specified rectifiable deficiencies under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — corrections must be made at the customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker before the authorised officer's visual inspection, without altering the original label information.
