Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a valid drug registration certificate and import licence for drugs from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before filing the bill of entry. Upload the registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) in e-Sanchit; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until both documents are verified.

    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 at the bill of entry stage. The proper officer must verify all five mandatory document codes before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CDSCO drug registration and the import licence as interchangeable — they are distinct documents with separate document codes (101dc1 and 9111dc respectively) and both must be independently uploaded in e-Sanchit. A bill of entry that carries one but not the other will be detained at the customs station pending document rectification, accruing demurrage and ground rent; the batch release certificate (0030dc) is equally mandatory and is frequently omitted by importers accustomed to less-regulated pharmaceutical lines.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3004 90 61 require BIS certification?
No, analgin-based medicaments are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this pharmaceutical product family. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with DGFT policy conditions applying at the bill-of-entry stage.
Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory for this tariff line?
Five document codes 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); all must be uploaded before customs out-of-charge is granted.
Is oxytocin permitted under HSN 3004 90 61?
No — import of oxytocin is prohibited under this tariff line; the sole exception is oxytocin reference standards imported exclusively for test and analysis, which require a test licence issued by DGCI/CDSCO, per S.O. 2357(E) and DGFT Notification 09/2015-2020 dated 23-05-2022.
