Of Siddha system

Siddha system bulk medicaments, not retail-packed

PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 3003 90 13 (Siddha system medicaments) is subject to import controls under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, which governs the import of Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani (ASU) drug formulations into India. At the bill of entry, customs officers verify that the mandatory e-Sanchit document set — Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, and consignment label — has been uploaded before out-of-charge is granted.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Upload the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), and the Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer is mandated to verify all three documents are present prior to granting out-of-charge.

  2. 2
    Ensure the consignment qualifies as a Siddha system formulation consisting of two or more constituents mixed for therapeutic or prophylactic use, not put up in measured doses or retail-sale packaging. Misclassification between Siddha (3003 90 13) and other ASU sub-headings triggers re-assessment and potential detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is arriving at the port without all three e-Sanchit documents uploaded prior to the bill of entry — particularly the Batch Release Certificate, which must originate from the manufacturing facility and is frequently submitted late. A missing document code in e-Sanchit causes the bill to be flagged for PGA routing even when the underlying product is otherwise compliant, generating avoidable detention and demurrage charges.
