Rough wood of fir and spruce, other unprocessed logs
HSN 4403 24 90 (rough wood of fir and spruce) is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement administered at the bill-of-entry stage under India's plant-quarantine regime. The certificate must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge is granted. No additional sectoral PGA licensing applies, but the phytosanitary clearance is a non-negotiable condition precedent to release.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. The certificate must cover the specific consignment of rough fir or spruce wood and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry.CCR mandatory-document requirement · e-Sanchit document code 851000
- 2At the bill-of-entry stage, confirm that the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) has been uploaded in e-Sanchit. The customs proper officer will verify the upload before granting out-of-charge; consignments lacking the uploaded certificate will be detained pending compliance.CCR PGA-facilitated-bill verification requirement · document code 851000
The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment with the Phytosanitary Certificate held in paper form only, without uploading document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. Customs out-of-charge will be withheld regardless of whether the paper original is present at the port; the upload is the operative trigger, and detention accrues demurrage and ground rent from the moment of arrival.
