Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Verify at the time of filing the bill of entry that the import satisfies policy condition no. 1 of Chapter 25 of the ITC (HS) Schedule. Although the tariff line is classified Free, the operative condition may impose end-use, labelling, or other restrictions that must be met before customs out-of-charge.
    ITC (HS) Import Policy, Chapter 25, policy condition no. 1
  2. 2
    Ensure all relevant declarations and supporting documentation are uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to customs out-of-charge. The bill of entry must reflect the Free-policy status of the CTI and confirm adherence to Chapter 25 policy condition no. 1.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a Free import classification under the ITC (HS) policy requires no further compliance action. Policy condition no. 1 of Chapter 25 imposes substantive requirements that survive the Free categorisation; failure to document compliance with that condition at the bill-of-entry stage can result in consignment detention pending verification by the proper officer.
