Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a valid FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) covering pineapple-based cooked preparations and upload it in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The Proper Officer will verify the upload prior to granting out-of-charge; consignments without the licence uploaded are detained.

  2. 2
    Upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit and ensure all labelling meets FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Rectifiable deficiencies — including per-serve percentage contribution to recommended dietary allowance and expiry/best-before date added by the manufacturer — 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.

  3. 3
    Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point as notified under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at a non-designated port are refused out-of-charge and may face re-export or detention with accruing ground rent.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that labelling corrections can be made freely after arrival. The rectification dispensation under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus is limited to specific defined deficiencies — per-serve RDA contribution and manufacturer-provided expiry/best-before data — and must be completed at a customs bonded warehouse before visual inspection or re-inspection by the authorised FSSAI officer. Any correction made after inspection, or to information elements outside the approved list, invalidates the rectification dispensation and exposes the consignment to rejection.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2007 99 30 require BIS certification?
No, cooked pineapple preparations are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with entry restricted to designated food-import ports under the ITC (HS) 2022 policy.
Which documents 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 mandatory e-Sanchit uploads; out-of-charge will not be granted until both are verified by the Proper Officer.
Can labelling deficiencies on imported pineapple jam be rectified at the port?
Yes, but only for the specific deficiencies permitted under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus and the FSSAI clarification order dated 18-11-2022 — rectification must occur at a customs bonded warehouse before FSSAI inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker that does not alter the original label.
