Confirm the bill of entry is routed through PGA verification for NOC where required. The proper officer will verify that document code 851000 has been uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; consignments without the uploaded Phytosanitary Certificate are liable to detention.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the Phytosanitary Certificate is a routine formality that can be rectified after arrival. A missing or defective document code 851000 upload in e-Sanchit triggers detention at port, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until the defect is remedied or the consignment is re-exported. Obtain the certificate from the exporting country's plant-protection authority before shipment — no post-arrival substitution is available through the PGA-facilitated-bill pathway.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4414 10 00 require BIS certification?

No. Wooden frames of tropical wood are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative requirement is a Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) uploaded in e-Sanchit, administered under the ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 44.

What is document code 851000 and who issues it?

Document code 851000 is the Phytosanitary Certificate issued by the national plant-protection organisation of the exporting country; it must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge at the bill-of-entry stage.

Does the Phytosanitary Certificate requirement apply even when the consignment is routed through a PGA-facilitated bill?

Yes. For PGA-facilitated bills that have not been independently routed through PGA for NOC, the proper officer is required to verify that document code 851000 is present in e-Sanchit before allowing out-of-charge; the obligation is not waived by the facilitated-bill pathway.
