Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC) issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. The PSC (document code 851000) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit and the upload confirmed before the customs proper officer grants out-of-charge on the bill of entry.

  2. 2
    At the bill of entry stage, verify that the PSC covers the specific consignment — species, quantity, and origin — and that it has been routed correctly through the PGA facilitation channel. Bills not routed through PGA for NOC are subject to direct document verification by the proper officer before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment with a Phytosanitary Certificate that does not precisely match the shipment particulars — species description, volume, or country of origin — presented in the bill of entry. A discrepancy between the PSC and the bill of entry prevents out-of-charge and triggers detention, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until either a corrected PSC is produced or the consignment is re-exported.
