Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a valid cosmetics registration certificate and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 101dc2 before filing the bill of entry. Customs will verify the upload; consignments without the registration certificate will not receive out-of-charge.
    e-Sanchit document code 101dc2 (registration certificate — cosmetics)
  2. 2
    Upload the certificate of analysis (document code 0010dc), batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), and consignment label (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit. All four mandatory documents must be present before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the cosmetics registration certificate (101dc2) while omitting one or more of the accompanying batch-level documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc) or batch release certificate (0030dc). Customs officers verifying PGA-facilitated bills check all four document codes independently; a single missing upload triggers detention and demurrage regardless of the validity of the registration certificate itself.
