HSN 4421 99 60 (Parts of domestic decorative articles used as tableware and kitchenware) is subject to a phytosanitary documentation requirement under the Plant Quarantine Order, with a Phyto Sanitary Certificate mandatory at the bill-of-entry stage. No sectoral licensing regime applies, but customs out-of-charge is contingent on the Phyto Sanitary Certificate being uploaded in e-Sanchit.
- Phyto Sanitary Certificate from exporting country authority
- e-Sanchit upload confirmation from CBIC
- 1Obtain a valid Phyto Sanitary Certificate from the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country before shipment. The certificate (document code 851000) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to filing the bill of entry; customs out-of-charge will not be granted without this upload.CCR mandatory document requirement · document code 851000 · e-Sanchit upload obligation
- 2At the bill of entry stage, confirm that the Phyto Sanitary Certificate has been successfully uploaded in e-Sanchit and that the document reference number is quoted on the bill of entry before seeking out-of-charge from the proper officer.CCR PGA-facilitated bills instruction · document code 851000
The most common error on this tariff line is presenting a Phyto Sanitary Certificate in hard copy at the port and assuming the proper officer will accept it without the corresponding e-Sanchit upload under document code 851000. A consignment cleared by any PGA-facilitated route but lacking the e-Sanchit upload will be detained at the port pending compliance, accruing demurrage and ground rent, with no provision for post-arrival upload to substitute for a pre-out-of-charge filing.
