PARTNER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CLEARANCE

HSN 4421 91 60 (Parts of domestic decorative articles used as tableware and kitchenware, of bamboo) is subject to phytosanitary clearance administered through the customs out-of-charge (OOC) verification process, with a Phytosanitary Certificate mandatory at the bill-of-entry stage. No sectoral product-safety PGA licence applies to this tariff line; the operative requirement is the phytosanitary document overlay enforced by the proper officer at customs.

  2. 2
    Ensure the Phytosanitary Certificate upload in e-Sanchit is confirmed before requesting out-of-charge. The proper officer will verify the document code 851000 upload on PGA-facilitated bills not routed through a PGA for NOC, and will withhold out-of-charge until the upload is verified.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is shipping the consignment without securing the Phytosanitary Certificate from the exporting country's plant-protection authority before vessel departure. A missing or defective certificate cannot be remedied after arrival — the proper officer will not grant out-of-charge, exposing the consignment to port detention, demurrage, and ground rent until a compliant certificate is uploaded in e-Sanchit.
