The single most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment without first securing the Phytosanitary Certificate from the exporting country's competent authority, treating it as an optional plant-health formality rather than a hard gate to out-of-charge. A missing or defective certificate results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage, and cannot be remedied after arrival because the required inspection and certification must occur at origin before shipment.
