    Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country. Upload the certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify the upload prior to granting out-of-charge.

  2. 2
    Confirm that the ITC (HS) import policy applicable to Chapter 44 wood articles is satisfied at the bill-of-entry stage. Failure to upload the Phytosanitary Certificate or non-compliance with the policy condition renders the consignment liable to detention pending regularisation.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is arriving at the port of import without the Phytosanitary Certificate pre-uploaded in e-Sanchit. Because the proper officer is directed to verify document code 851000 before granting out-of-charge, a missing or late-uploaded certificate results in consignment detention, accruing demurrage and ground rent that cannot be waived retrospectively even when the certificate is subsequently produced.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 4421 10 00 require BIS certification?
No, wooden clothes hangers are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative requirement at the bill-of-entry stage is the Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) uploaded in e-Sanchit, with the DGFT ITC (HS) import policy applicable to Chapter 44 as the governing policy framework.
Who issues the Phytosanitary Certificate required for this tariff line?
The Phytosanitary Certificate must be issued by the competent national plant-protection authority of the exporting country and uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before the bill of entry is processed for out-of-charge.
What happens if the Phytosanitary Certificate is not uploaded before the bill of entry is filed?
The proper officer is directed to withhold out-of-charge until document code 851000 is verified in e-Sanchit; detention of the consignment follows, with demurrage and ground rent accruing at the port until the document is regularised.
