- 1Obtain a valid import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) and a registration certificate for drugs (document code 101dc1) from CDSCO before shipping. Both documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry; absence of either triggers detention and denial of out-of-charge.Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 · e-Sanchit document codes 9111dc and 101dc1
- 2Upload the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010dc), the batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), and the consignment label (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit at the bill-of-entry stage. The proper officer will verify these documents on PGA-facilitated bills before granting out-of-charge.e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc · CDSCO import clearance procedure
The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the import licence with the registration certificate: both are mandatory, issued under separate CDSCO processes, and carry independent validity windows. A consignment presented with a current registration certificate but an expired or absent import licence — or vice versa — is detained at the port of entry; the proper officer has no discretion to grant out-of-charge until all five e-Sanchit documents (0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc) are verified as uploaded.
