Emery
Natural emery, abrasive mineral (raw or heat-treated)
HSN 2513 20 10 (Emery) requires a Phytosanitary Certificate uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before customs out-of-charge. No additional sectoral PGA licence applies to this tariff line; the operative clearance requirement is the phytosanitary document verified by the proper officer at the bill-of-entry stage.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate from the competent authority of the exporting country before shipment. The certificate must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 prior to filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify upload before granting out-of-charge.e-Sanchit document code 851000 · CCR customs verification requirement
- 2Confirm at the bill-of-entry stage that the Phytosanitary Certificate IRN generated in e-Sanchit is quoted on the entry. Failure to upload document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge results in consignment detention pending document regularisation.e-Sanchit document code 851000 · CCR customs verification requirement
The most common error on this tariff line is treating emery as a purely mineral commodity with no phytosanitary obligation and arriving at the port without document code 851000 uploaded in e-Sanchit. Even where the consignment has not been routed through a PGA for a formal NOC, the proper officer is instructed to verify the Phytosanitary Certificate upload before out-of-charge — an absent upload halts clearance and attracts demurrage and ground rent until the document is regularised.
