Circulars     Customs

October 17, 2024

This instruction from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) pertains to the implementation of an agreement signed between the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA). The key points are: BFDA will issue Health Certificates for food exports to India as proof of FSSAI compliance. For approved Bhutanese manufacturers, their consignments accompanied by a BFDA-issued Health Certificate can be granted NOC based on the certificate. The importer must upload the Health Certificate on e-sanchit for Customs verification. Customs officers functioning as FSSAI officers must ensure proper documentation before granting NOC. Specimen signatures of BFDA signatories and the list of approved Bhutanese establishments are provided.
