Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Confirm the import satisfies Para 8(b) of the General Notes regarding import policy of the ITC (HS) before placing the purchase order. This tariff line is Restricted; import without satisfaction of the applicable policy condition exposes the consignment to detention and confiscation at the port of entry.
    Para 8(b) of General Notes regarding import policy, ITC (HS) Schedule I
  2. 2
    Ensure compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, governing the import of hazardous waste. Upload the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (document code 856001) in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed; customs out-of-charge will not be granted without this document.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without uploading the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (document code 856001) in e-Sanchit, on the assumption that Restricted-policy compliance alone satisfies customs. The PSIC is a mandatory standalone document; PGA-facilitated bills that bypass the NOC routing are still verified by the proper officer, and out-of-charge is withheld until the PSIC IRN is confirmed in the system.
