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.

Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain 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.

  2. 2
    Ensure 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.

A word of counsel

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.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4409 29 10 require BIS certification?
No, continuously shaped non-conifer wood is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative clearance requirement for this tariff line is the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000), uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.
Is the Phytosanitary Certificate upload in e-Sanchit mandatory at the bill of entry stage?
Yes. The proper officer must verify that document code 851000 has been uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; consignments where the upload is absent or incomplete are held until the deficiency is rectified.
Does this HSN attract any DGFT licence or ITC (HS) Restricted-import condition beyond the phytosanitary requirement?
The regulatory record records only the Phytosanitary Certificate condition for this tariff line; no separate DGFT import licence or Restricted-import policy condition is indicated beyond the standard Chapter 44 phytosanitary overlay.
