PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 3301 29 24 (Eucalyptus oil) is subject to Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) import-policy controls under the ITC (HS) Schedule, with mandatory document verification at the bill-of-entry stage covering drug-analysis and cosmetic-registration credentials. Depending on the declared end-use, the consignment may attract concurrent clearance requirements as either a drug or a cosmetic, with corresponding e-Sanchit document uploads required before customs out-of-charge.

Compliance steps
  1. 1

    e-Sanchit mandatory document codes 0010dc and 0030dc per CCR
  2. 2
    Upload the Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc) and, where the product is imported as a cosmetic, the Registration Certificate (Cosmetics) under document code 101dc2. The proper officer will verify all four documents before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is presenting only the cosmetic registration (101dc2) when the declared use is pharmaceutical, or vice versa — omitting the registration certificate entirely on a drug-use entry. Eucalyptus oil straddles both the drug and cosmetic regulatory tracks; the document set at e-Sanchit must reflect the actual declared end-use, and a mismatch between the label, the certificate of analysis, and the declared end-use is sufficient grounds for the proper officer to withhold out-of-charge pending clarification.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3301 29 24 require BIS certification?
No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers eucalyptus essential oil. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with mandatory e-Sanchit document verification covering drug-analysis certificates and cosmetic-registration credentials depending on end-use.
Are all four e-Sanchit documents always required, or does it depend on end-use?
The CCR mandates verification of all four documents — 0010dc (certificate of analysis, drug), 0030dc (batch release certificate), 0110dc (label), and 101dc2 (registration certificate, cosmetics) — before out-of-charge; the proper officer applies whichever subset corresponds to the declared end-use.
What if the imported eucalyptus oil is a mixture with other odoriferous substances?
Mixtures of odoriferous substances are classifiable under Chapter heading 3302, not 3301 29 24; misclassification will attract re-assessment at the bill of entry and potential penalty under the Customs Act, 1962.
