In India, the food business is taking on new directions with an increase in international trade. Statistics show a rapid increment in the import and export of food products. However, entering the Indian market is not so simple. FSSAI Importer License is one of the major requirements for the import of any food products or ingredients into India. It helps in the entry of only safe and quality products.
NOC is very important for importation as you will not be able to get the license or import food without a NOC. You need the following documents to apply for a NOC:
Bill of Entry
End-use Declaration- A declaration regarding food as not being GM food.
Country of origin certificate.
Import-Export Code (IEC) issued by the DGFT
FSSAI food business license.
The queries have to be clarified that are raised by the authorized officer. The inspection team will accompany the tasting of the food samples.
NOC will be granted to those who have met the requirements. Afterwards, it is possible to obtain a license for importing food into the country.
