File the bill of entry with mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 28 commodities as stipulated in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. These qualifiers are required for all import declarations under Chapter 28 with effect from 15 October 2023 and non-compliance may result in consignment detention.

Where the consignment is categorised as a drug, upload all five mandatory documents in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is assessed: Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc), Registration Certificate for Drugs (document code 101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (document code 9111dc). Out-of-charge will not be granted until these are verified.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the Chapter 28 qualifier obligation is limited to drug-classified consignments. The CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus qualifier mandate applies to all Chapter 28 import declarations regardless of end-use classification — an industrial-grade iodate consignment that lacks the mandatory qualifiers is equally liable to detention. The drug-document bundle (0010dc through 9111dc) is an additional layer that activates only where the goods also attract the drugs-import regime.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit when the consignment is classified as a drug?

Five documents are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for Drugs (101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (9111dc) — all must be uploaded before out-of-charge is granted.

From what date are the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers operative, and what happens if they are absent?

The qualifier requirement under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus is operative from 15 October 2023; declarations filed without the stipulated qualifiers expose the consignment to detention pending correction by the proper officer.
