Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Phyto Sanitary Certificate (PSC) from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before dispatch. Upload the PSC in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 prior to filing the bill of entry; customs out-of-charge will not be granted without this upload.
    e-Sanchit document code 851000 · CCR mandatory-document requirement
  2. 2
    Verify at the bill-of-entry stage that the PSC has been uploaded and the e-Sanchit IRN is quoted. Where the bill has not been routed through the Plant Quarantine authority for a NOC, the proper officer will independently verify the 851000 upload before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment with a Phyto Sanitary Certificate in hand but failing to upload it in e-Sanchit under the correct document code (851000) before the bill of entry is filed. A PSC that exists physically but is absent from e-Sanchit triggers detention and accumulating demurrage at port; the customs proper officer has no discretion to grant out-of-charge until the upload is confirmed.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4407 26 00 require BIS certification?
No, sawn timber of White Lauan, Meranti, Seraya and Alan species is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative clearance requirement is the Phyto Sanitary Certificate uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000, with ITC (HS) policy administered by DGFT.
Who issues the Phyto Sanitary Certificate required for this tariff line?
The Phyto Sanitary Certificate must be issued by the competent national plant-protection authority of the exporting country and uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before the bill of entry is assessed.
Is a Plant Quarantine NOC always required, or only in certain cases?
Where the bill of entry is routed through the Plant Quarantine authority, the NOC is obtained directly through that channel; where it is not so routed, the customs proper officer verifies the e-Sanchit upload of the PSC (document code 851000) and withholds out-of-charge until the document is confirmed.
