Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. Upload the certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 at the time of filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify this upload before granting out-of-charge.

2
Ensure the bill of entry reflects compliance with the ITC (HS) import policy for Chapter 44 wood articles. Where the consignment has not been routed through the relevant PGA for NOC, confirm the Phytosanitary Certificate is current and covers the specific wood species and product form being imported.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the Phytosanitary Certificate has been uploaded in e-Sanchit: the proper officer is required to verify document code 851000 before granting out-of-charge, and a missing or post-shipment upload results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage. The certificate must cover the actual species and multilayer construction of the flooring panel — a generic timber PSC issued for a different product form does not satisfy the requirement.
