1
Verify that import of this CTI is Prohibited under the ITC (HS) import policy before placing any purchase order. No licence, permit, or exemption pathway is documented under the current policy schedule for this tariff line.

2
If a consignment has already been shipped, engage DGFT and the Customs proper officer immediately. A Prohibited-classification finding at the bill-of-entry stage results in detention of the consignment, accrual of demurrage and ground rent, and mandatory re-export or confiscation under the Customs Act, 1962.

A word of counsel

The single most consequential error on this tariff line is confusing HSN 3507 10 19 (residual 'Other' rennet and concentrates) with adjacent rennet CTIs that may carry a different policy status. Importers sourcing rennet for food-processing applications must classify the product precisely at the 8-digit level before contracting; a Prohibited-classification finding cannot be rectified post-shipment through a DGFT licence or post-facto amendment, and the consignment will be directed to re-export or confiscation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3507 10 19 require BIS certification?

No, this tariff line is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative restriction is a Prohibited import classification under the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, which bars import entirely.

Is there any licence or exemption that permits import of this Prohibited CTI?

The ITC (HS) policy records a flat Prohibited classification for CTI 3507 10 19 with no documented exemption pathway, advance-authorisation carve-out, or DGFT licence route in the current policy schedule.

What distinguishes HSN 3507 10 19 from other rennet tariff lines in Heading 3507?

HSN 3507 10 19 is the 8-digit residual 'Other' classification within the rennet-and-concentrates subheading 3507 10; importers should verify whether their specific rennet product falls under a different 8-digit CTI within Chapter 35 that carries a Free or Restricted — rather than Prohibited — policy status.
