Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Obtain a Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC) from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country covering the bamboo consignment. Upload the PSC in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before filing the bill of entry; customs out-of-charge will not be granted until this upload is verified.

  2. 2
    Confirm that the bill of entry is filed at a port equipped with plant-quarantine inspection facilities. The proper officer will verify the e-Sanchit upload of the PSC before issuing out-of-charge; consignments lacking the PSC upload are detained pending compliance.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the exporting country's plant-protection authority has issued and forwarded the Phytosanitary Certificate in a form acceptable for e-Sanchit upload. A photocopy or an email scan without the original reference number is routinely rejected at the port, resulting in consignment detention, accruing demurrage and ground rent, with no administrative fast-track available once the vessel has berthed.
