Food-import interface
FSSAI operates the Food Import Clearance System. Determine whether the actual goods need its document, inspection, sampling or testing processes under current rules.
Quantity and quality record
Keep the declared product and quantity aligned with supplier, shipping and receiving records. Any required analysis or food certificate should correspond to the consignment.

For bulk oil, facility acceptance, tank capacity and the discharge schedule are operating questions in addition to customs readiness.
Useful documents before arrival
- Commercial invoice and bill of lading
- Product description and specification
- Packing or bulk quantity record
- Applicable food-import documents and origin evidence
- Receiving and storage instructions
