Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a valid Import Licence for Drugs (document code 9111dc) and a Registration Certificate for Drugs (document code 101dc1) from CDSCO before shipment. Both documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage prior to customs out-of-charge.

  2. 2
    Upload the Certificate of Analysis for Drugs (document code 0010dc), the Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), and the Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit. The proper officer will verify all five mandatory documents before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading only the Import Licence while omitting one or more of the four supporting documents — Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, Label of Consignment, and Registration Certificate. All five document codes (9111dc, 101dc1, 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc) are independently verified in e-Sanchit; a single missing upload causes the bill of entry to remain in PGA-facilitated queue pending NOC, generating demurrage and ground rent at the port of discharge.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3004 10 60 require BIS certification?
No, combination antibiotic medicaments 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, with DGFT policy controls as an additional overlay.
Which five documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this drug consignment?
The mandatory uploads are the Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for Drugs (101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (9111dc); all must be present before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.
Does the oxytocin import prohibition affect HSN 3004 10 60?
No — the prohibition on oxytocin under S.O. 2357(E) and DGFT Notification 09/2015-2020 dated 23-05-2022 applies to oxytocin formulations, not to ampicillin-cloxacillin combinations; oxytocin reference standards remain separately permissible for test and analysis against a DGCI/CDSCO test licence.
