PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 4419 19 00 (wooden tableware and kitchenware, other) is subject to a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate requirement administered through India Customs at the bill-of-entry stage, with the certificate (document code 851000) uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted. No sectoral PGA licence or permit applies, but the phytosanitary overlay is a binding customs-clearance condition for all wood articles under Chapter 44.

Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC) from the national plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. Upload the PSC in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 prior to filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify this upload before granting out-of-charge.

2
Confirm the consignment is classified under the residual sub-heading 4419 19 00 and not under a more specific 8-digit code within heading 4419. Misclassification into or out of this residual entry can attract re-assessment, demand of differential duty, and delay at the port.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment without the Phytosanitary Certificate, assuming that finished wooden articles are exempt from plant-health requirements. The PSC is mandatory for all wood articles regardless of degree of processing, and a missing or invalid certificate results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage until a compliant PSC is produced or the goods are re-exported.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4419 19 00 require BIS certification?

No, wooden tableware and kitchenware under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The binding clearance requirement is the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

Is the Phytosanitary Certificate required even for finished and processed wooden kitchenware?

Yes. The e-Sanchit document code 851000 requirement applies to articles of wood under Chapter 44 regardless of the degree of finishing or processing; the certificate must be issued by the competent authority of the exporting country.

What happens if the Phytosanitary Certificate is not uploaded before the bill of entry is filed?

The proper officer will withhold out-of-charge until the PSC is uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000; the consignment remains in customs custody accruing demurrage and ground rent until the document is furnished or the goods are re-exported.
