Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence before filing the bill of entry and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001. Also upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); customs out-of-charge will not be granted until both documents are verified in e-Sanchit.

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. Diversion to a non-designated port renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export.

3
Ensure the label meets FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 requirements, including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and dual date-of-expiry/best-before markings. Rectifiable labelling deficiencies must be corrected at the customs bonded warehouse by affixing a single non-detachable sticker adjacent to the principal display panel, without altering the original label, before visual inspection by the authorised officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating label deficiencies as automatically rectifiable and delaying corrections until customs inspection. The rectifiable-labelling dispensation under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18 November 2022 applies only to specified information items — per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before dates — and only where the manufacturer itself provides the correction; deficiencies beyond this permitted list are grounds for consignment detention or re-export, not rectification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1702 60 10 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers solid fructose 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 an FSSAI Import Licence, designated-port entry, and FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 compliance as the operative requirements.

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

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) are mandatory uploads in e-Sanchit; customs out-of-charge is withheld until both are verified by the proper officer.

Can labelling corrections be made after the consignment arrives at the Indian port?

Yes, but only for the specific items permitted under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18 November 2022 — namely per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date information — and solely by affixing a non-detachable sticker at the customs bonded warehouse before inspection, with the correction provided by the manufacturer itself.
