Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid 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 in e-Sanchit; the proper officer will verify both documents before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through a food-import entry point designated under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Diversion to a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and referral back to a designated facility.

3
Ensure labelling complies with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and expiry/best-before information. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies may be corrected at a customs-bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI Import Licence in e-Sanchit but neglecting the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS), which is an independent mandatory document verified by the proper officer before out-of-charge is granted. A missing or non-compliant label upload — even where the FSSAI licence is current — results in consignment detention; the rectifiable-labelling dispensation applies only to specified deficiencies and does not cure an absent label upload.
