A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without populating the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifier fields, treating them as optional supplementary information. CBIC Circular 23/2023-CUS makes these qualifiers a hard requirement at the declaration stage — not a post-clearance rectifiable defect — so an incomplete declaration can result in consignment detention and demurrage accruing until the bill of entry is amended and re-assessed.
