The most common error on this tariff line is uploading the FSSAI or general animal-product documents while overlooking the CITES certificate requirement specific to WCCB. Placenta sourced from CITES-listed species requires the CITES permit (document code 626000) as a distinct clearance separate from the AQCS sanitary chain; absence of the CITES certificate at out-of-charge triggers detention and potential seizure under wildlife protection provisions, irrespective of whether all AQCS documents are in order.
