Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid cosmetics registration certificate under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and ensure it is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 101dc2 before filing the bill of entry. Absence of the registration certificate at the out-of-charge stage will result in customs detention of the consignment.

2
Upload the certificate of analysis (document code 0010dc), the batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), and the label of the consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit. The proper officer must verify all four documents before granting out-of-charge on PGA-facilitated bills that have not been routed through the PGA for NOC.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is uploading only the cosmetics registration certificate and overlooking the batch release certificate and certificate of analysis as separate mandatory documents with distinct document codes. All four documents — 101dc2, 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc — must be individually uploaded in e-Sanchit; a single missing document code is sufficient for the proper officer to withhold out-of-charge, triggering demurrage and ground rent while the gap is remedied.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3307 30 10 require BIS certification?

No, bath oil (thailam) falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers perfumed bath preparations. Import is governed by the cosmetics-registration framework under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with mandatory document verification by CBIC at the bill-of-entry stage.

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 the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Does the document-upload requirement apply even when the bill has been routed through the PGA for NOC?

The mandatory e-Sanchit upload applies specifically to PGA-facilitated bills that have not been routed through the PGA for NOC; where the PGA has actively issued an NOC, the routing itself confirms clearance, but the document codes remain the standard verification baseline for the proper officer.
