A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without the full suite of five drug-regime documents in e-Sanchit, particularly omitting the batch release certificate (0030dc) or the registration certificate (101dc1) on the assumption that hydroxylamine sulphate is a commodity chemical rather than a drug-regulated substance. Where the consignment is PGA-facilitated and not routed through the PGA for NOC, the proper officer retains the obligation to verify all five document codes before out-of-charge; absence of any single document will detain the consignment pending rectification.
