Lip make-up preparations
Lip make-up preparations (lipstick, lip gloss, lip liner)
HSN 3304 10 00 (Lip make-up preparations) is subject to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) cosmetics registration regime under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, which classifies imported cosmetics as requiring a valid registration certificate before customs clearance. Four mandatory documents — including a Certificate of Analysis, batch release certificate, consignment label, and cosmetics registration certificate — must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.
- Registration certificate from CDSCO
- Batch release certificate from manufacturer
- Certificate of Analysis from manufacturer
- 1Obtain a valid cosmetics registration certificate from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation covering lip make-up preparations before the consignment is shipped. Upload the registration certificate (document code 101dc2) in e-Sanchit at the bill-of-entry stage; customs out-of-charge will not be granted without it.Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 · e-Sanchit document code 101dc2
- 2Upload all four mandatory documents in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry: Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010dc), batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), label of consignment (document code 0110dc), and registration certificate for cosmetics (document code 101dc2). The proper officer will verify each document before granting out-of-charge.e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc2
The most common error on this tariff line is shipping consignments before the CDSCO cosmetics registration certificate is obtained and assuming the Certificate of Analysis alone satisfies customs. All four documents — Certificate of Analysis, batch release certificate, consignment label, and registration certificate — must be uploaded in e-Sanchit simultaneously; a partial upload results in consignment detention at port, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the missing document is uploaded and the proper officer re-examines the bill of entry.
