A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence upload as the sole customs obligation and overlooking label compliance under the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Rectification of labelling deficiencies is permitted only at customs bonded warehouses before inspection, by means of a single non-detachable sticker affixed next to the principal display panel; a consignment presented for inspection with non-compliant labels and no pre-inspection rectification faces re-inspection delay, demurrage, and ground rent accumulation at the designated port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 40 10 require BIS certification?

No, liquid glucose falling under this tariff line is not covered by 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 food-import port requirements as the operative obligations.

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

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and a Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit; the Proper Officer will verify these before granting out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022 and CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023.

Can labelling deficiencies on an imported liquid glucose consignment be rectified after arrival in India?

Yes, but only at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer, using a single non-detachable sticker placed next to the principal display panel without altering the original label; rectification is not permitted after inspection has commenced.
