A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry without confirming whether both policy conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 are satisfied simultaneously — importers frequently address one condition and overlook the other, resulting in consignment detention pending DGFT clarification. Given the sparse CCR, importers should obtain a written confirmation of the applicable conditions from DGFT or a licensed customs broker before the consignment is shipped.
