DGFT Notification 43/2015-2020 dated 22-11-2021 · ITC (HS) policy condition 5, Chapter 71
2
Upload the Kimberley Process Certificate (document code 002KP0) in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed. The proper officer must verify the 002KP0 upload before granting out-of-charge; PGA-facilitated bills not routed for NOC are subject to mandatory document verification.
DGFT Notification 34/2015-20 dated 28-09-2020 · ITC (HS) policy condition 3, Chapter 71
3
Verify the country of origin against ITC (HS) policy condition 1 (Côte d'Ivoire) and policy condition 2 (Venezuela) before placement of the purchase order. Imports originating from those countries are subject to specific restrictions under Chapter 71 policy conditions and may not be cleared at the bill-of-entry stage.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Kimberley Process Certificate as the sole compliance requirement and overlooking the GJEPC registration condition. A valid KP Certificate uploaded under document code 002KP0 does not substitute for the importer's active GJEPC membership; customs officers verify both, and a lapsed or absent GJEPC registration results in consignment detention irrespective of KP Certificate validity.
