A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with only the commercial documents — invoice, packing list, and bill of lading — while omitting the drug-specific e-Sanchit uploads. All five document codes (0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc) must be live in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is filed; a PGA-facilitated bill that bypasses the NOC queue does not waive the document-upload requirement, and the proper officer is instructed to verify each code independently before granting out-of-charge.
