MEFCC CLEARANCE

HSN 3307 10 90 (Other pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations) is subject to import controls administered by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MEFCC) under Rule 10 of the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Rules, 2000, where the product is an aerosol formulation. Aerosol preparations under this tariff line require a licence from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) unless the product is demonstrably ODS-free, in which case a label declaration confirming the absence of ozone-depleting substances must accompany the consignment before import.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Where the product is an aerosol preparation containing or potentially containing ozone-depleting substances listed in Schedule VII of the ODS Rules, 2000, obtain a DGFT licence before shipment. Aerosol products that are ODS-free must carry a label to that effect; confirm compliance with General Note 8(a) of the ITC (HS) Import Policy before filing the bill of entry.
    Rule 10 of the Ozone Depleting Substances Rules, 2000 · General Note 8(a) of the ITC (HS) Import Policy
  2. 2
    Upload all mandatory documents in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge: 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 customs proper officer will verify these uploads on PGA-facilitated bills.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the ODS licence requirement applies only to conventional CFC-based aerosols — in fact, the Schedule VII trigger under Rule 10 of the ODS Rules, 2000 covers the aerosol product category broadly, and the burden falls on the importer to demonstrate ODS-free status through a label declaration before the bill of entry is filed. A consignment arriving without either the DGFT licence or the ODS-free label declaration will be detained at the port of entry, with demurrage accruing until the deficiency is rectified or the consignment is re-exported.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3307 10 90 require BIS certification?
No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change under Rule 10 of the Ozone Depleting Substances Rules, 2000, with a DGFT licence requirement for aerosol variants and an ODS-free label declaration requirement for non-ODS aerosols.
Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?
Four documents 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 customs out-of-charge is granted.
Does the ODS licence requirement apply to non-aerosol shaving preparations such as shaving creams or gels?
The ODS Rules, 2000 Schedule VII trigger under General Note 8(a) applies specifically to aerosol products; non-aerosol formats such as creams, gels, and lotions classified under this residual tariff line are not subject to the DGFT ODS licence requirement, though cosmetic registration and e-Sanchit documentation obligations remain.
