A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry without confirming which of the three Chapter 38 policy conditions applies to the specific carbide mixture being imported. All three conditions (1, 2 and 3) are listed as potentially applicable; failing to identify and satisfy the correct condition before arrival results in consignment detention and accrual of demurrage and ground rent while DGFT authorisation is sought.
