Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid drug registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and an import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation before the consignment is shipped. Both documents must cover the specific hormonal contraceptive formulation and be current at the date of the bill of entry.

2
Upload all five mandatory documents in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry: certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc). The proper officer will verify each upload before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is uploading the registration certificate without ensuring the batch release certificate (0030dc) and certificate of analysis (0010dc) are specific to the consignment batch being imported. A registration certificate valid for the product does not satisfy the batch-level clearance requirement; customs officers conducting PGA-facilitated-bill verification will hold the consignment at the port — attracting demurrage and ground rent — until all five document codes are present and readable in e-Sanchit.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3006 60 10 require BIS certification?

No, hormonal chemical contraceptive preparations are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with mandatory registration, import licensing, and batch-level documentation at the bill of entry.

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

Five document codes are mandatory: certificate of analysis (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 out-of-charge is granted.

Does the import licence requirement apply if the consignment is a small commercial sample?

The regulatory record does not record a sample-quantity exemption for this tariff line; the CDSCO import licence and registration certificate requirements apply to all commercial import bills of entry, and any exemption claim must be established through the relevant provision of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 before filing.
