The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without the Chapter 32 mandatory qualifiers, treating them as optional supplementary data rather than a hard pre-clearance requirement. A declaration deficient in the paragraph 4.1 and 4.2 qualifiers will be held at the customs station pending amendment, attracting demurrage and ground rent; the circular does not provide a post-filing rectification window at the port gate.
