Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid Import Licence for Drugs (document code 9111dc) and a Registration Certificate for Drugs (document code 101dc1) from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before filing the bill of entry. Both documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit and verified by the proper officer before out-of-charge is granted.

2
Upload the Certificate of Analysis — Drug (document code 0010dc), the Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), and the Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit prior to the bill of entry. The proper officer is required to verify all five mandatory documents before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills.

3
Confirm that the consignment does not contain oxytocin: import of oxytocin is prohibited under S.O. 2357(E) and DGFT Notification 09/2015-2020 both dated 23-05-2022. Import of oxytocin reference standards is permitted exclusively for test and analysis, subject to a test licence issued by DGCI/CDSCO.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to upload all five mandatory e-Sanchit documents — particularly the Batch Release Certificate (0030dc) and the Label of Consignment (0110dc) — in the assumption that the Import Licence and Registration Certificate alone suffice for out-of-charge. Customs proper officers are instructed to withhold out-of-charge where any of the five document codes is missing, and the resulting detention attracts demurrage and ground rent while the deficiency is rectified.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3004 10 70 require BIS certification?

No. Streptomycin medicaments are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with a DGFT ITC (HS) policy overlay and a mandatory five-document e-Sanchit upload at the bill-of-entry stage.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

Five documents are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis — Drug (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Registration Certificate for Drugs (101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (9111dc); the proper officer withholds out-of-charge until all five are verified in e-Sanchit.

Is the oxytocin prohibition relevant to a streptomycin consignment under this HSN?

The prohibition under S.O. 2357(E) and DGFT Notification 09/2015-2020 dated 23-05-2022 applies to oxytocin, not to streptomycin itself; however, any consignment under HSN 3004 10 70 containing oxytocin — even incidentally — is subject to seizure, with the sole carve-out being oxytocin reference standards imported under a DGCI/CDSCO test licence exclusively for test and analysis.
