A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a Chapter 28 import declaration without the mandatory qualifiers required under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus — a deficiency that triggers detention at assessment regardless of whether all other documents are in order. Importers who obtain the drug-related clearances (registration certificate, import licence, certificate of analysis, batch release certificate) but overlook the Chapter 28 qualifier requirements face a separate CBIC hold that is not cured by the drug documentation already uploaded in e-Sanchit.
