  1. 1
    Ensure the bill of entry for magnesium bromide carries all mandatory additional qualifiers stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. These qualifiers became compulsory for all Chapter 28 import declarations with effect from 15 October 2023.

    Confirm that the commercial invoice and packing documents reflect the qualifying particulars required under the circular, so the proper officer can verify declaration accuracy at the bill-of-entry stage without referring the consignment for examination.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a standard bill of entry without the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers introduced under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus — a deficiency that triggers examination orders and consignment detention, accumulating demurrage and ground rent while the declaration is corrected. The qualifier requirement applies to every import of magnesium bromide regardless of consignment size or end-use, and there is no de-minimis carve-out in the circular.
