Kaolin poultice, pharmaceutical-grade topical dressing
HSN 3005 90 20 (Poultice of kaolin) is a pharmaceutical product subject to customs documentation verification under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) at the bill-of-entry stage. Mandatory documents — Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, and consignment label — must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.
- Certificate of Analysis from drug manufacturer
- Batch Release Certificate from manufacturer
- Consignment label from importer
- 1Upload the Certificate of Analysis for the drug (document code 0010dc) in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. This document must cover the specific batch being imported and confirm the pharmaceutical specification of the kaolin poultice.CBIC e-Sanchit mandatory document code 0010dc · CCR customs documentation requirement
- 2Upload the Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc) and the consignment label (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit. The proper officer will verify all three documents are present and current before granting out-of-charge; absence of any one document will result in consignment detention.CBIC e-Sanchit mandatory document codes 0030dc and 0110dc · CCR customs documentation requirement
The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the Certificate of Analysis without confirming it corresponds to the exact batch number on the Batch Release Certificate and the consignment label. A mismatch across the three documents — even where each is individually valid — constitutes an incomplete PGA documentation set; the proper officer will withhold out-of-charge until a corrected or reconciled set is uploaded, triggering demurrage and ground rent at the port of entry.
