A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is submitting a Certificate of Analysis that covers the product range rather than the specific imported batch; customs officers verify the batch number on the Batch Release Certificate against both the Certificate of Analysis and the consignment label, and a mismatch — even where the product itself is compliant — results in detention pending corrected documentation. Ensure all three documents bear the identical batch reference before vessel departure.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3005 90 30 require BIS certification?

No, medicated lint is not subject to any BIS Quality Control Order. Import compliance is governed by CBIC documentary verification under the Customs Act, 1962, requiring a Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, and consignment label uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.

What are the mandatory document codes for this tariff line in e-Sanchit?

Three document codes must be uploaded: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), and label of consignment (0110dc), all batch-matched to the specific consignment being imported.

What happens if a PGA-facilitated bill of entry has not been routed through the PGA for an NOC?

The proper officer is required to independently verify that all three mandatory documents — 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc — have been uploaded in e-Sanchit and will withhold out-of-charge until that verification is complete.
