A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting the import licence alone and treating the batch release certificate and certificate of analysis as secondary or post-clearance documents. All five document codes — 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, and 9111dc — are mandatory pre-out-of-charge uploads; a single missing upload causes detention at port, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the deficiency is cured through CDSCO.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3002 42 00 require BIS certification?

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

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

The mandatory uploads are: 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 the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

What happens if a bill of entry for veterinary vaccines is not routed through the PGA for NOC?

Where the bill is PGA-facilitated but not routed through the PGA for NOC, the proper officer independently verifies all five mandatory documents in e-Sanchit; failure to upload any one document results in consignment detention until the deficiency is rectified.
