Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country covering the bamboo consignment. Upload the certificate in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before filing the bill of entry; the proper officer will verify this upload prior to granting out-of-charge.

Confirm the Phytosanitary Certificate is current and covers the specific bamboo article description and quantity on the commercial invoice. A certificate that does not match the consignment description or has expired prior to the bill-of-entry date will result in detention pending re-verification.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping the consignment without uploading the Phytosanitary Certificate in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed, assuming the document can be submitted post-arrival. The proper officer is required to verify document code 851000 in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; a missing upload results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage until the certificate is lodged correctly.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 4421 91 12 require BIS certification?

No, bamboo articles for jute machinery are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. The operative requirement at the bill-of-entry stage is a Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) uploaded in e-Sanchit, with customs out-of-charge conditional on the proper officer verifying that upload.

What document code must be used when uploading the Phytosanitary Certificate in e-Sanchit?

Document code 851000 must be used. The certificate must be uploaded before the bill of entry is presented; failure to do so prevents the proper officer from granting out-of-charge.

Does the phytosanitary requirement apply even if the consignment was routed through a PGA-facilitated bill of entry?

Yes. For PGA-facilitated bills not routed through the PGA for a separate NOC, the proper officer is still required to verify that document code 851000 has been uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge is granted.
