- 1Upload 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.CBIC Circular 24/2022-Cus dated 28-11-2022 · document codes 853AQ1 and 001AQ1

- 3Confirm 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.ITC (HS) import policy · Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 · CITES
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.
