A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with a generic chemical description and omitting the specific qualifiers required by paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. An incomplete declaration does not trigger a straight rejection but instead causes the consignment to be held pending amendment, accruing demurrage and ground rent at the port while the correction is processed.
