1
Obtain a valid drug registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before filing the bill of entry. Both documents must be current and cover the specific TABC vaccine product and batch being imported.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading documents for a different batch or product variant than the consignment being cleared — TABC vaccines may arrive in single-antigen or multi-antigen configurations, and the registration certificate and batch release certificate must correspond exactly to the product description and batch number on the commercial invoice. A mismatch between the uploaded 101dc1 registration and the actual consignment triggers detention at the designated port while corrective documentation is obtained, accumulating demurrage and ground rent on temperature-sensitive biological goods.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3002 41 25 require BIS certification?

No, TABC vaccines are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation licensing and registration under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with five mandatory e-Sanchit document uploads required before out-of-charge.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this vaccine consignment?

Five documents are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis — Drug (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate — Drugs (101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (9111dc), all to be verified by the proper officer before out-of-charge.

Does each imported batch of TABC vaccine require a separate batch release certificate?

Yes. The batch release certificate (document code 0030dc) is batch-specific and must correspond to the actual consignment being cleared; a certificate covering a prior or different batch does not satisfy the e-Sanchit upload requirement for the current bill of entry.
