Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis vaccine for human medicine
HSN 3002 41 17 (Japanese encephalitis vaccine) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration and import licensing under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. Five mandatory documents — Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, consignment label, drug registration certificate, and import licence — must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge at the bill of entry.
- Registration certificate from CDSCO
- Import licence from CDSCO
- Batch Release Certificate from manufacturer
- 1Obtain a drug registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and an import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before shipment. Both documents must be current and cover the specific Japanese encephalitis vaccine formulation being imported.Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 · e-Sanchit document codes 101dc1 and 9111dc
- 2Upload all five mandatory documents in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), consignment label (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc). The proper officer will verify e-Sanchit uploads before granting out-of-charge.e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the registration certificate and import licence while omitting the Batch Release Certificate (0030dc) or the Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), treating them as secondary. For vaccines, all five documents form a complete set; a customs proper officer reviewing a PGA-facilitated bill will withhold out-of-charge if even one document code is absent from e-Sanchit, resulting in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage.
