  2. 2
    Confirm the import policy status under ITC (HS) Chapter 13 before placing the purchase order. Nux vomica extracts carry specific alkaloid content that may trigger additional scrutiny; ensure the commercial invoice and packing list describe the product accurately to avoid misdeclaration risk at the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping without a pre-obtained Phytosanitary Certificate, assuming the document can be furnished after arrival. The customs proper officer is instructed to verify the 851000 document code in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; a missing certificate results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage and ground rent until the certificate is produced or the consignment is re-exported.
