A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is assuming that the absence of a named sectoral PGA means the consignment clears on commercial documents alone. The Phytosanitary Certificate (document code 851000) is a mandatory e-Sanchit upload, and a missing or unsigned certificate will result in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage while the proper officer withholds out-of-charge.
