Builders joinery and carpentry of wood, other types
HSN 4418 89 00 (Other builders joinery and carpentry of wood) is subject to phytosanitary clearance under the Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, with a Phyto Sanitary Certificate mandatory at the bill-of-entry stage. No additional sectoral PGA licence applies to this residual sub-heading, and the tariff line is otherwise governed by standard ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).
- Phyto Sanitary Certificate from exporting country
- ITC (HS) import compliance from DGFT
- 1Obtain a Phyto Sanitary Certificate (PSC) from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country prior to shipment. The certificate must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before the bill of entry is filed; customs out-of-charge will not be granted without this upload.CCR mandatory-document requirement · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit OOC condition
- 2Confirm the consignment otherwise meets ITC (HS) import policy conditions for Chapter 44. Verify that no additional port or end-use restriction applies to the specific wood article being imported before the bill of lading is finalised.ITC (HS) Schedule I, Chapter 44, import policy conditions
The single most common failure on this tariff line is presenting the Phyto Sanitary Certificate in hard copy at the customs counter rather than uploading document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is assessed. A PSC that exists but is not uploaded in e-Sanchit is treated the same as an absent document for out-of-charge purposes, triggering detention, demurrage, and ground rent while the upload is remedied.
