Compliance steps

1
Verify that the consignment is correctly classified under CTI 3301 29 31 (Tuberose concentrate) and not under heading 3302, which covers mixtures of odoriferous substances. Misclassification into 3302 constitutes a misdeclaration at the bill of entry and attracts customs penalty.
ITC (HS) classification note: mixtures of odoriferous substances classifiable under 3302
2
File the bill of entry with standard customs documentation confirming the product is a single-source tuberose concentrate, not a blended mixture. Confirm free import status under the ITC (HS) policy for Chapter 33 before dispatch.

A word of counsel

The single most consequential error on this tariff line is misclassifying a blended floral concentrate as a single-source tuberose concentrate under 3301 29 31. A product compounded from two or more odoriferous substances — even if tuberose-dominant — is classifiable under heading 3302, and filing under 3301 29 31 constitutes a misdeclaration that exposes the importer to customs duty differential recovery, monetary penalty, and potential seizure of the consignment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3301 29 31 require BIS certification?

No, tuberose concentrate falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by DGFT under the ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 33, with standard customs clearance applicable.

How is tuberose concentrate distinguished from a mixture of odoriferous substances at the bill of entry?
