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

  2. 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. Consignments arriving at a non-designated port are liable to detention and re-export.

  3. 3
    Ensure labels meet the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 before shipment. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies — including per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date information — may be corrected at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel, without altering the original label, prior to inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence in e-Sanchit while omitting the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), treating the label upload as a secondary formality. Both documents are mandatory preconditions for out-of-charge, and a missing label upload results in consignment detention at the designated port regardless of the licence being current. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies may be corrected at the bonded warehouse — but only those categories enumerated under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus; structural non-compliance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 is not rectifiable at port.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 1702 40 31 require BIS certification?

Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with an FSSAI Import Licence, Specimen Copy of Label, and designated food-import port requirement.
Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?
The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) are both mandatory uploads in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022.
Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives in India?
Yes, but only for the specific categories listed under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus — such as per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date — by affixing a non-detachable sticker at the customs bonded warehouse before the authorised officer's inspection; corrections must not alter the original label information.
