Ensure the consignment enters only through a designated food-import entry point as required by General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Verify that product labelling satisfies FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020; permissible rectification of specified labelling deficiencies may be carried out at Customs bonded warehouses by affixing a single non-detachable sticker before the authorised officer's inspection.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is the assumption that the FSSAI Import Licence alone covers the documentation requirement. This HSN carries a parallel drug-document overlay — including Registration Certificate (Drugs) under code 101DC1 and Import Licence for Drugs under code 9111DC — and customs officers will verify every document code individually in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge. A consignment cleared on FSSAI credentials alone, without the drug-category certificates uploaded, will be detained pending full document compliance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3507 90 40 require BIS certification?

No, pure pectin esterase enzyme preparations are not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime. Import is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with CBIC oversight at the bill of entry for mandatory document verification.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

Seven document codes are mandated: 0010DC (Certificate of Analysis — Drug), 0030DC (Batch Release Certificate), 0110DC (Label of Consignment), 0110FS (Specimen Copy of Label), 101DC1 (Registration Certificate — Drugs), 911001 (FSSAI Import Licence), and 9111DC (Import Licence for Drugs); all must be present before out-of-charge.

Can labelling deficiencies be corrected after the consignment arrives at port?

Yes, but only for the specific labelling information listed under CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus and the FSSAI order dated 17-06-2022, such as per-serve dietary contribution and expiry date format; rectification must be done at a Customs bonded warehouse using a single non-detachable sticker without altering the original label, and verified by the authorised officer before out-of-charge.
