Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. A Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must also be uploaded; the customs proper officer will verify both documents before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment exclusively 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 re-export.

3
Ensure labelling complies with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment. Certain defined labelling deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and dual date of expiry/best-before — may be rectified at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, provided rectification precedes visual inspection by the FSSAI-authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating a labelling deficiency as automatically rectifiable at port without appreciating the procedural constraint: rectification must occur in a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection, and only manufacturer-provided corrections are accepted. A label affixed after the FSSAI-authorised officer has commenced inspection is not considered a valid rectification, exposing the consignment to detention or re-export on labelling grounds alone — independent of the substantive FSSAI Import Licence compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 40 20 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers solid glucose under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with the FSSAI Import Licence, Specimen Copy of Label, and designated-port requirements as the operative obligations.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this HSN at the bill of entry?

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) are both mandatory uploads in e-Sanchit; out-of-charge will not be granted until both are verified by the customs proper officer.

Can labelling deficiencies for this glucose import always be corrected at the port of import?

Only defined categories of labelling information — such as per-serve dietary allowance contributions and date-of-expiry clarifications — are eligible for port rectification, and solely by affixing a manufacturer-provided non-detachable sticker in a customs bonded warehouse before the FSSAI-authorised officer's inspection; other deficiencies may result in consignment rejection or re-export.
