A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without completing the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifier fields introduced by CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, treating the qualifier obligation as a minor formality. An incomplete or absent qualifier entry is treated as a defective declaration under the Customs Act, 1962, exposing the consignment to examination, detention, and demurrage accumulation while the importer furnishes corrected particulars.
