Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a valid drug registration certificate and import licence for Becampicillin from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before filing the bill of entry. Both documents — registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) — must be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.

  2. 2
    Upload in e-Sanchit the Certificate of Analysis for drugs (document code 0010dc), the Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), and the Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc) before the bill of entry is presented for customs out-of-charge. Absence of any of these documents at the PGA-facilitated-bill verification stage will result in detention.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the registration certificate and import licence while overlooking the batch-level documents — the Certificate of Analysis (0010dc) and Batch Release Certificate (0030dc) — which are verified independently at out-of-charge. A consignment cleared at the PGA stage can still be detained by the proper officer if these batch documents are absent in e-Sanchit, triggering demurrage and ground rent while the importer arranges retrospective uploads.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3004 10 40 require BIS certification?
No, Becampicillin medicaments fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with DGFT administering the ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 30 pharmaceutical products.
Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory at the bill of entry for this HSN?
Five documents must be uploaded: Certificate of Analysis for drugs (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for drugs (101dc1), and Import Licence for drugs (9111dc); the proper officer verifies all five before granting out-of-charge.
Does the oxytocin import prohibition affect Becampicillin consignments under this tariff line?
No. The prohibition on oxytocin under S.O. 2357(E) and DGFT Notification 09/2015-2020 dated 23-05-2022 is product-specific to oxytocin; Becampicillin is a penicillin-class derivative unrelated to oxytocin and is not caught by that prohibition, provided all CDSCO registration and licensing requirements are met.
