Compliance steps

1
Verify the import status before placing any purchase order: this CTI is Prohibited under the ITC (HS) import policy. Consignments tendered at the bill-of-entry stage without a DGFT-issued exemption will be refused out-of-charge and are liable to confiscation under the Customs Act, 1962.

2
If a policy change or specific exemption is sought, approach the Directorate General of Foreign Trade for a policy-level clarification or advance licence determination before shipment. Attempting import under a mis-declared or adjacent CTI to circumvent the Prohibited status constitutes a customs mis-declaration attracting penalty and prosecution.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is mis-classifying the goods into an adjacent rennet or enzyme CTI to avoid the Prohibited status. Customs officers routinely cross-check the chemical and biological description against the declared CTI; a mis-declaration on a Prohibited item attracts confiscation of the consignment, monetary penalty, and potential prosecution — outcomes that are not remedied by subsequent reclassification after arrival.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3507 10 99 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import is governed solely by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, under which this CTI is classified as Prohibited.

Is there any circumstance under which a Prohibited CTI can be imported?

Import of a Prohibited CTI requires a specific policy exemption or advance authorisation issued by DGFT; absent such an instrument, customs authorities will refuse out-of-charge and the consignment is liable to confiscation.

Does the Prohibited status apply to all rennet concentrates or only certain sub-types?

The Prohibited classification under the ITC (HS) policy attaches to this specific 8-digit CTI (3507 10 99) covering other rennet and concentrates thereof; importers should confirm whether their specific product falls under this CTI or an adjacent heading before shipment.
