Bamboo parts for tableware and kitchenware articles
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.
- Phytosanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a valid Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country. The certificate must accompany the consignment and be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed.CCR mandatory-document requirement · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit OOC verification
- 2Ensure 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.CCR OOC verification instruction · document code 851000
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.
