A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is arriving at customs with the CDSCO registration certificate in hand but failing to upload one or more of the ancillary documents — certificate of analysis, batch release certificate, or label — in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is assessed. All four document codes (0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc2) must be present and linked in e-Sanchit simultaneously; a missing upload triggers detention and demurrage even where the underlying registration is current and valid.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3303 00 30 require BIS certification?

No, Keora water and toilet waters are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the cosmetics-registration regime under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, administered by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, with mandatory e-Sanchit document uploads at the bill-of-entry stage.

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

Four document codes are mandatory: certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), and registration certificate for cosmetics (101dc2); all must be uploaded before out-of-charge is granted.

Does Keora water require a separate drug certificate, or is the cosmetics registration sufficient?

The mandatory document set includes both a certificate of analysis coded as a drug document (0010dc) and a cosmetics registration certificate (101dc2), indicating dual compliance obligations; importers should ensure both the drug-analysis and cosmetics-registration tracks are satisfied before dispatch.
