Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Upload the veterinary health certificate issued by the competent authority of the exporting country (document code 853AQ1) and the laboratory report or Certificate of Analysis (document code 001AQ1) in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. Both documents are mandatory per Annexure A of CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022.

  2. 2
    Ensure all drug-related documents are uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for drugs (101dc1), Health Certificate (6360AQ), and Import Licence for drugs (9111dc).

  3. 3
    Confirm that the source material does not originate from a CITES-listed species or, where it does, obtain valid CITES permits and WCCB clearance in compliance with the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. Absence of CITES documentation for a listed species attracts seizure and prosecution under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the drug-registration documentation set as the complete compliance obligation while overlooking the WCCB and CITES overlay. Where the liver extract is derived from a wildlife species listed under CITES Appendices, the absence of a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin and a corresponding WCCB no-objection renders the consignment liable to seizure and criminal prosecution under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 — irrespective of whether all six drug-document codes have been uploaded in e-Sanchit.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3001 20 10 require BIS certification?
No, liquid extracts of liver fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers organo-therapeutic extracts under Chapter 30. Import is governed by Animal Quarantine and Certification Services veterinary clearance, Wildlife Crime Control Bureau controls under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 and CITES, and DGFT ITC (HS) policy conditions.
Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry?
Six codes are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for drugs (101dc1), Health Certificate (6360AQ), and Import Licence for drugs (9111dc), plus the veterinary health certificate (853AQ1) and COA (001AQ1) per CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus.
When does CITES compliance apply to this tariff line?
CITES applies whenever the liver extract is sourced from a species listed under CITES Appendices I, II, or III; in that case a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin and WCCB clearance are required before import is permitted under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.
