A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the drug registration certificate but omitting the batch release certificate (0030dc) or the certificate of analysis (0010dc), treating them as secondary. All five documents are independently mandatory; a PGA-facilitated bill where any one document is absent will be held by the proper officer pending upload, accruing demurrage and ground rent without any discretion for waiver.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3006 60 20 require BIS certification?

No, chemical contraceptive preparations based on heading 2937 products fall outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, requiring drug registration and an import licence.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit 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 to be uploaded before out-of-charge is granted.

What happens if the import licence for drugs has expired at the time the bill of entry is filed?

An expired import licence (9111dc) renders the consignment non-compliant at the bill of entry stage; the proper officer will not grant out-of-charge, and the consignment is liable to detention until a valid licence is produced or the goods are re-exported.
