A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is presenting a valid import licence while omitting the batch release certificate or certificate of analysis — each is an independent mandatory document and the absence of any one of the five required uploads triggers detention pending regularisation. The batch release certificate is product-specific and lot-specific; a certificate from a prior shipment is not transferable to a new consignment, and substitution renders the bill of entry non-compliant regardless of licence validity.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3002 41 23 require BIS certification?

No, MMR vaccines are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers vaccines for human medicine. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with mandatory import licensing, drug registration, and batch release certification.

Which documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for MMR vaccine imports?

Five documents are mandatory: certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), consignment label (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — all must be present before customs out-of-charge is granted.

What happens if the bill of entry is filed without all five mandatory documents uploaded?

The proper officer will withhold out-of-charge, and the consignment remains detained at port, accruing demurrage and ground rent, until every required document is uploaded and verified in e-Sanchit.
