    Obtain 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 Lampati rough wood and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    Ensure the Phytosanitary Certificate is uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted. The proper officer will verify the upload at the bill-of-entry stage; failure to upload the certificate will result in the consignment being withheld from out-of-charge until compliance is demonstrated.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the vessel before the Phytosanitary Certificate has been issued and its document code 851000 uploaded in e-Sanchit. A certificate that is valid but not uploaded in e-Sanchit carries the same practical consequence as a missing certificate: the consignment is detained at port, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the upload is completed and verified by the proper officer.
