Compliance steps

2
Confirm at the bill-of-entry stage that the PSC (document code 851000) has been successfully uploaded in e-Sanchit. The customs proper officer will verify the upload before granting out-of-charge; consignments without the uploaded PSC will be held pending compliance.

A word of counsel

The single most common failure on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the Phyto Sanitary Certificate is in hand and uploaded in e-Sanchit — importers assume the PSC can be submitted after arrival. The customs proper officer is required to verify the e-Sanchit upload before granting out-of-charge, so a missing or late PSC results in consignment detention and accruing demurrage and ground rent until the document is regularised.

The Phyto Sanitary Certificate is issued by the competent plant-protection or national plant-protection organisation of the exporting country and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 at the bill-of-entry stage.

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