A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that strontium chloride is a commodity chemical requiring only commercial documentation, while overlooking that any pharmaceutical or drug-intermediate characterisation of the consignment immediately triggers the full CDSCO drug-documentation suite — five separate e-Sanchit uploads. Importers who discover a documentation gap at the port face consignment detention and accruing demurrage; the Chapter 28 qualifier obligation under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus applies regardless of end-use characterisation.
