Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and upload it in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will not grant out-of-charge unless document code 911001 is verified as uploaded; PGA-facilitated bills not routed through FSSAI for NOC are subject to mandatory document verification by the customs proper officer.

2
Upload a specimen copy of the product label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit. The label must comply with FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve RDA percentage contribution and expiry/best-before date where supplied by the manufacturer — may be corrected at customs-bonded warehouses before inspection by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, without altering the original label.

3
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Arrival at an undesignated port renders the consignment liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence but submitting labels that omit the per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance as required under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. A label deficiency of this type is technically rectifiable at the customs-bonded warehouse — but only where the corrected information is provided by the manufacturer itself and verified by an authorised officer; rectification attempted without manufacturer attestation is not covered by the dispensation and will result in consignment detention pending re-inspection.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 30 39 require BIS certification?

No, glucose and glucose syrup in this residual category are not subject to any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with FSSAI Import Licence, label compliance, and designated-port entry requirements applying at the bill of entry.

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

Two mandatory documents are required: FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and specimen copy of label (document code 0110FS); both must be present in e-Sanchit before the proper officer issues out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus and CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies for this glucose syrup consignment be rectified at the port?

Yes, but only within the scope of the FSSAI dispensation under FSS (Import) Regulations, 2017 and the rectifiable-labelling orders dated 22-05-2018 and 14-01-2019, as extended by CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus; rectification must occur at a customs-bonded warehouse before visual inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker supplied by the manufacturer, and is verified by the authorised officer.
