Shingles and shakes
Wood shingles and shakes for builders' joinery
HSN 4418 50 00 (Shingles and shakes) is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement under India's plant-quarantine regime, administered through the e-Sanchit document verification framework at the bill of entry. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade's ITC (HS) import policy applies as the overarching trade-policy overlay.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- ITC (HS) policy declaration from DGFT
- 1Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) from the national plant-protection authority of the exporting country before the consignment is shipped. The certificate must accompany the wood shingles and shakes as evidence of compliance with India's plant-quarantine conditions.e-Sanchit document code 851000 · CCR phytosanitary condition for HSN 4418 50 00
- 2Upload the Phytosanitary Certificate under document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer will verify the upload before granting out-of-charge; consignments without the uploaded certificate will be held pending compliance.e-Sanchit mandatory document verification · document code 851000
The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment with the Phytosanitary Certificate in the paper shipment documents but failing to upload it under document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. Customs out-of-charge is blocked until the e-Sanchit upload is confirmed, and the resulting detention attracts demurrage and ground rent at the port; a paper original held by the clearing agent does not substitute for the electronic upload.
