A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers, treating them as optional supplementary information rather than a hard precondition for out-of-charge. CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus makes the qualifiers compulsory with effect from 15 October 2023; a declaration filed without compliant para 4.1 and 4.2 qualifiers is treated as deficient and attracts detention pending amendment.
