Therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic toxins
HSN 3002 49 20 (toxins for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses) is administered under the ITC (HS) Import Policy by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Category 1a chemicals — saxitoxin or ricin — under Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention are Restricted and require prior permission from the National Authority, Chemical Weapons Convention, under section 15 of the Chemical Weapons Convention Act, 2000.

- 2Upload the mandatory document suite in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed: Certificate of Analysis - drug (document code 0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), drug registration certificate (101dc1) and drug import licence (9111dc). The proper officer is required to verify these uploads before granting out-of-charge.CCR mandatory-document upload protocol · e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the document-code upload at the bill of entry as a procedural formality, without separately screening the consignment against Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Saxitoxin and ricin are explicitly Category 1a-Restricted; National Authority permission is a precondition to import and cannot be obtained retroactively. Missing any one of the five e-Sanchit document codes triggers detention at out-of-charge.
