A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry with a generic product description and omitting the Chapter 32 mandatory qualifiers prescribed under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. A declaration that does not conform to paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 — covering chemical nomenclature, CAS number, or composition particulars as applicable — exposes the consignment to detention and examination delay, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until a corrected declaration is accepted by the proper officer.
