Planed, tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, and the like but not further moulded
Continuously shaped wood, planed or profile-jointed (non-moulded)
HSN 4409 29 10 covers continuously shaped wood of non-conifer species — planed, tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, or V-jointed but not further moulded — and is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement administered by the Plant Quarantine authority under the Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003. The document must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge is granted.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC) from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. The PSC (document code 851000) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until this upload is verified by the proper officer.CCR mandatory document condition · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit upload requirement
- 2Ensure the PSC is consignment-specific and covers the exact species, volume, and port of entry. The proper officer is required to verify the e-Sanchit upload for PGA-facilitated bills that have not been routed through the PGA for NOC before issuing out-of-charge.CCR condition for PGA-facilitated bills · document code 851000
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Phytosanitary Certificate as a routine formality and uploading a generic or recycled certificate that does not match the specific consignment details. A mismatch between the PSC and the bill of entry — in species description, quantity, or country of origin — results in detention at the port of entry pending re-verification, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until a fresh or corrected PSC is accepted by the proper officer.
