A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with a generic commodity description and omitting the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers introduced by CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. The qualifier requirement is not a post-clearance disclosure — it is a pre-out-of-charge condition, and a declaration deficient in the paragraph 4.1 or 4.2 fields will be flagged at first-appraisement, attracting consignment detention and demurrage pending correction.
