A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate as a procedural formality rather than a hard gate. Customs officers verifying PGA-facilitated bills are specifically instructed to confirm document code 856001 is uploaded in e-Sanchit before granting out-of-charge; a missing or defective PSIC results in detention and accruing demurrage. The Hazardous Waste Rules overlay applies independently of DGFT Restricted-policy compliance — satisfying one does not discharge the other.
