HSN 3401 11 90 covers other toilet-use soaps (including medicated products) and is subject to cosmetics and drug-registration requirements under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, administered by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). At the bill of entry, customs officers verify that Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, consignment label, and Registration Certificate for Cosmetics have been uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted.

- 1Obtain a valid Registration Certificate for Cosmetics (document code 101DC2) from CDSCO covering the imported toilet soap or medicated soap product. Upload this certificate in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify its presence prior to granting out-of-charge.Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 · e-Sanchit document code 101DC2
- 2Upload the Certificate of Analysis (document code 0010DC), Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030DC), and Label of Consignment (document code 0110DC) in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. All four mandated documents must be present; absence of any single document will prevent out-of-charge.e-Sanchit document codes 0010DC, 0030DC, 0110DC · CCR mandatory-document checklist
The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the cosmetics Registration Certificate while omitting one of the three ancillary documents — Certificate of Analysis, Batch Release Certificate, or Label of Consignment — on the assumption that the registration alone satisfies the clearance check. Customs systems flag the bill for PGA review when any of the four mandated e-Sanchit codes is missing, triggering detention and demurrage even when the product itself is fully compliant.
