- 1Ensure the import declaration for HSN 3204 12 45 includes all mandatory additional qualifiers prescribed under paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. Non-inclusion of the required qualifiers renders the bill of entry non-compliant with effect from 15 October 2023.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, para 4.1 and 4.2
- 2Verify that the commodity description on the bill of entry accurately identifies the dye by its Colour Index name (Acid Blue 45) and commercial synonym (Solway Blue RN), in conformity with the Chapter 32 qualifier mandate. Misdescription or omission of the required chemical or commercial identifiers may attract detention and a request for a corrected declaration.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, para 4.1 and 4.2
The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with a generic or abbreviated commodity description and treating the qualifier mandate as a post-clearance formality. CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus applies from 15 October 2023 and customs officers are instructed to verify qualifier completeness before out-of-charge; an incomplete declaration causes consignment detention and demurrage while a corrected entry is processed.
