Compliance steps

2
Confirm at the bill-of-entry stage that the e-Sanchit IRN for the PQIS import permit (document code 911PQ1) is quoted correctly. A PGA-facilitated bill not routed through the PGA for NOC must still carry the uploaded permit to obtain out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry on the assumption that worked natural stone is a straightforward construction-material import requiring no PGA clearance. The PQIS import permit (document code 911PQ1) is mandatory regardless of whether the bill is PGA-facilitated; omitting the e-Sanchit upload results in consignment detention and demurrage at port until the permit is produced and uploaded.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6802 99 00 require BIS certification?

No, worked monumental or building stone of this tariff line is not covered by a BIS Quality Control Order. The operative requirement is a PQIS import permit (document code 911PQ1) uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.

Is the PQIS import permit upload in e-Sanchit required even when the bill is not routed through the PGA for NOC?

Yes. Even for PGA-facilitated bills not routed through the PGA for an NOC, the customs proper officer must verify that document code 911PQ1 has been uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge.

What happens if the PQIS import permit is missing at the time of customs examination?

The consignment will not receive out-of-charge until the permit is uploaded in e-Sanchit, resulting in detention at port, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until the document deficiency is rectified.
