A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with a generic product description and omitting the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers required under paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. Qualifier non-compliance triggers customs examination and demurrage accumulation while the declaration is corrected; the qualifier fields must be populated at the time of original filing, not as an amendment after examination order.
