- 2Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer at customs will verify the upload prior to granting out-of-charge; a missing or defective certificate will result in consignment detention.CBIC e-Sanchit mandatory document upload requirement · document code 851000
The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the Phytosanitary Certificate is finalised and uploaded in e-Sanchit — the customs proper officer is required to withhold out-of-charge until document code 851000 is verifiably present in the system. A certificate issued after the vessel has sailed cannot be substituted once the bill of entry is filed, and detention at port accumulates demurrage and ground rent until a compliant certificate is produced.
