I beams
Engineered wood I beams for builders joinery and carpentry
HSN 4418 83 00 (I beams of wood) is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement administered at the bill-of-entry stage under India's plant-quarantine regime. The certificate must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before customs out-of-charge is granted. No additional sectoral PGA licence applies to this tariff line beyond the phytosanitary clearance.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC) issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country covering the consignment of wood I beams. The certificate must be consignment-specific and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before the bill of entry is filed.CCR mandatory document requirement · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit upload protocol
- 2At the bill-of-entry stage, verify that the Phytosanitary Certificate has been uploaded in e-Sanchit and the IRN is quoted on the bill of entry. The proper officer will confirm upload of document code 851000 before granting out-of-charge; consignments without this upload are detained pending regularisation.CCR PGA-facilitated-bill protocol · document code 851000
The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the Phytosanitary Certificate is in hand, on the assumption that a wood-product shipment can be cleared with a post-arrival certificate. Customs protocol requires document code 851000 to be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge; a missing or defective PSC triggers detention and demurrage while the exporting-country authority issues a replacement, which may take weeks across time zones.
