PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 3003 90 12 (Of Unani system) is subject to Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) regulatory oversight governing import of Unani medicaments under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. At the bill-of-entry stage, customs officers verify mandatory e-Sanchit uploads — including a Certificate of Analysis, a Batch Release Certificate, and a consignment label — before granting out-of-charge.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Ensure the Certificate of Analysis for the drug (document code 0010dc) and the Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc) are uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. These documents must cover the specific batch being imported and be current at the time of customs examination.

  2. 2
    Upload the consignment label (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge. The customs proper officer will verify all three mandatory documents — 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc — before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills not separately routed through the PGA for NOC.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that routing the bill through the PGA for an NOC discharges the e-Sanchit upload obligation — it does not. On PGA-facilitated bills not separately routed for NOC, the customs proper officer independently verifies that document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc are all uploaded before out-of-charge; a missing batch release certificate alone is sufficient to detain the consignment and attract demurrage.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3003 90 12 require BIS certification?
No, Unani system medicaments are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 through the AYUSH regulatory framework, with mandatory e-Sanchit document uploads — Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), and consignment label (0110dc) — verified at the bill-of-entry stage.
Are all three document codes — 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc — mandatory at the bill of entry?
Yes. The CCR specifies that the Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, and label of consignment must each be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the customs proper officer grants out-of-charge, regardless of whether the bill has been PGA-routed for NOC.
What happens if the Batch Release Certificate is missing or covers a different batch?
A missing or batch-mismatched Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc) will result in out-of-charge being withheld, exposing the consignment to port detention, demurrage, and ground rent until a compliant certificate is uploaded in e-Sanchit.
