- 2Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 prior to filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer will verify the upload before granting out-of-charge; bills not routed through the PGA for NOC are subject to officer-level document verification.e-Sanchit mandatory-document protocol · document code 851000
The single most common error on this tariff line is presenting the Phytosanitary Certificate at the port counter rather than uploading it in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. A belated upload — even where the certificate itself is valid — causes the bill to be flagged as PGA-facilitated without NOC, triggering officer-level review, consignment detention, and accumulating demurrage and ground rent until the document is correctly lodged in the system.
