Compliance steps

1
Obtain and maintain a current FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and upload it in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will verify this upload as a mandatory pre-condition to granting out-of-charge; consignments lacking the document code in e-Sanchit are detained pending compliance.

2
Upload the specimen copy of the product label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. Labels must comply with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; rectifiable deficiencies — including per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/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.

3
Route the consignment only 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 non-compliant regardless of FSSAI licence currency, exposing it to detention and potential re-export.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating label deficiencies as a post-clearance matter rather than a pre-out-of-charge obligation. The rectifiable-labelling dispensation under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus applies only to specific deficiencies — per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before dating — and only when the manufacturer itself provides the corrective information, verified by the authorised officer at the bonded warehouse before visual inspection. Labelling deficiencies beyond the notified categories are not rectifiable at port and will result in consignment hold pending full re-labelling or re-export.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2007 10 00 require BIS certification?

No, homogenised fruit and nut preparations are not subject to any BIS Quality Control Order. 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 and designated-port restriction as the binding requirements at the bill of entry.

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

The mandatory documents are the FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the specimen copy of label (document code 0110FS); both must be present in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives at port?

Only the specific deficiencies notified under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus — per-serve RDA contribution and expiry/best-before date — may be rectified at the customs bonded warehouse using a non-detachable sticker, provided the correction is made by the manufacturer and verified by the authorised officer before visual inspection.
