Compliance steps

1
Obtain a current FSSAI Import Licence and upload it in e-Sanchit under document code 911001 before filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer will verify this upload before granting out-of-charge; consignments where the licence is absent in e-Sanchit will be detained.

2
Upload the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) in e-Sanchit. Labels must meet the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; limited rectification of specified labelling deficiencies — per-serve dietary contribution and expiry/best-before date — may be carried out at customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker, without altering the original label, before the authorised officer's inspection.

3
Confirm the port of importation is a designated food-import entry point under General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. If the consignment originates from or transits through Bangladesh, verify applicability of the port-restriction conditions under Para 19 of the General Notes introduced by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 and check whether any exemption under Para 2 or Para 3 of that notification applies.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating label rectification at port as equivalent to full label compliance — it is not. The port-rectification dispensation under CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus is limited to two specified data fields (per-serve dietary contribution and expiry/best-before date) and requires the rectification information to originate from the manufacturer itself. A label that is non-compliant beyond those two fields cannot be corrected at the bonded warehouse and will face re-export or confiscation, not a sticker fix.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2009 89 10 require BIS certification?

No. Mango juice falls outside 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 FSSAI Import Licence, label-compliance, and designated food-import entry-point requirements applying at the bill of entry.

Which documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for mango juice at the bill of entry?

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) must both be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge; a PGA-facilitated bill where either document is absent will be held by the proper officer pending upload.

Do the Bangladesh port-restriction rules under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 apply to mango juice imports?

DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025 introduced Para 19 in the General Notes of ITC (HS) 2022 restricting imports of certain goods from Bangladesh to specified ports; importers should verify whether mango juice falls within the restricted goods list or qualifies for an exemption under Para 2 or Para 3 of that notification.
