Compliance steps

1
Obtain the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and upload it in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Separately upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS); the proper officer will verify both are present in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge.

2
Route the consignment only through one of the designated food-import entry points as required under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Non-compliant routing to an undesignated port will result in consignment detention pending FSSAI clearance.

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

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating rectifiable labelling provisions as a blanket dispensation: the rectification window applies only to specific deficiencies enumerated in CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022, and cannot be used to substitute core mandatory particulars absent from the original label. A missing FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) or Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit is a separate, non-rectifiable ground for detention — the proper officer will withhold out-of-charge until both documents are verified.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 1902 20 10 require BIS certification?

No, cooked stuffed pasta is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with mandatory FSSAI Import Licence and label compliance requirements at the bill-of-entry stage.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this HSN?

Two documents are mandatory: the FSSAI Import Licence under document code 911001 and the Specimen Copy of Label under document code 0110FS. Both must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge, per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs.

Can labelling deficiencies in the cooked stuffed pasta consignment be rectified at the port?

Yes, but only for the specific deficiencies listed under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — such as per-serve dietary contribution data and expiry date alongside best-before date — by affixing a non-detachable sticker at the customs bonded warehouse before inspection.
