Compliance steps

1

2
Upload all documents required under the triggered Chapter 38 policy conditions in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry. Customs out-of-charge will not be granted until policy-condition compliance is verified by the proper officer.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that only one of the three Chapter 38 policy conditions applies and filing with a single supporting document. All three conditions — nos. 1, 2 and 3 — must each be assessed individually; a consignment compliant with condition no. 1 may still be detained if conditions nos. 2 or 3 impose a separate authorisation not uploaded in e-Sanchit.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3824 81 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers chemical preparations containing oxirane. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with policy condition nos. 1, 2 and 3 to Chapter 38 as the operative requirements.

What do ITC (HS) Chapter 38 policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 require for this tariff line?

The regulatory record confirms that import may be subject to all three policy conditions to Chapter 38; the specific authorisation or licence each condition requires must be confirmed against the current ITC (HS) Schedule I text published by DGFT before the purchase order is placed.

Can ethylene oxide preparations be imported freely if no specific licence is held?

No. The tariff line is subject to ITC (HS) policy conditions to Chapter 38, meaning free import is not available without satisfying each triggered condition; non-compliance risks consignment detention and DGFT-policy enforcement at the port of import.
