Compliance steps

1
Ensure a valid Phytosanitary Certificate is obtained from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country and uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before filing the bill of entry. The customs proper officer will verify the upload prior to granting out-of-charge.

If the consignment originates in Bangladesh, assess applicability of DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025. Para 19 of the General Notes to ITC (HS) 2022 introduces port restrictions as stated in para 1; consult paras 2 and 3 to determine whether the specific goods qualify for exemption before nominating the port of import.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching Bangladesh-origin consignments to a non-notified port without first checking the para 2 and 3 exemptions under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26. A consignment routed to a port that does not satisfy para 1's conditions — and that does not fall within the exempted categories — faces detention and potential re-export; the Phytosanitary Certificate, however current, does not cure a port-restriction violation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4420 90 90 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers wooden ornamental or decorative articles under this tariff line. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with a mandatory Phytosanitary Certificate and, where applicable, the Bangladesh-origin port-restriction framework under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26.

Is the Phytosanitary Certificate required for all origins, or only for specific countries?

The Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) is a mandatory e-Sanchit upload for all consignments under this tariff line regardless of origin; the Bangladesh port-restriction overlay under DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 is an additional, origin-specific requirement.

What are the consequences if a Bangladesh-origin consignment arrives at a port not covered by DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 para 1?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import; customs out-of-charge will not be granted, and the importer may be required to arrange re-export at their own cost and risk if the port-restriction breach cannot be regularised.
