FSSAI CLEARANCE

Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and ensure a Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) is prepared in accordance with the FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020. Both documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry; out-of-charge will not be granted until the customs proper officer has verified their presence.

2
Route the consignment only through a designated food-import entry point compliant with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022. Consignments arriving at non-designated ports are liable to detention pending re-routing or re-export.

3
Where label deficiencies exist, rectification is permitted only at customs bonded warehouses before visual inspection by the Authorised Officer, by affixing a single non-detachable sticker next to the principal display panel without altering the original label. Rectifiable information includes per-serve RDA percentage contributions and date of expiry alongside best-before date, the latter only where the manufacturer has itself provided the information.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence upload as the sole pre-clearance obligation and submitting it without the Specimen Copy of Label as a co-mandatory e-Sanchit document. Both document codes — 911001 and 0110FS — are independently verified by the proper officer before out-of-charge is granted; a missing label specimen results in consignment detention and potential demurrage even where the Import Licence is current and properly uploaded.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3507 90 79 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers this product family. Import of other prepared enzymes under HSN 3507 90 79 is governed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with CBIC-administered labelling compliance and DGFT food-import entry-point controls.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this HSN at the bill of entry?

The FSSAI Import Licence (document code 911001) and the Specimen Copy of Label (document code 0110FS) are both mandatory uploads in e-Sanchit; out-of-charge will not be issued until both are verified by the customs proper officer per CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Customs dated 28-06-2022.

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

Yes, but only within the defined rectifiable-labelling regime: corrections must be made at a customs bonded warehouse before the Authorised Officer's inspection, using a single non-detachable sticker that does not alter the original label, and date-of-expiry additions require the information to originate from the manufacturer itself.
