A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without the Chapter 39 mandatory qualifiers, treating them as optional supplementary data. Customs officers are directed to verify qualifier completeness at the bill-of-entry stage, and an incomplete declaration is grounds for detention pending amendment — accruing demurrage and ground rent. The Bangladesh-origin port restriction applies regardless of whether the exporting entity is in Bangladesh or the goods merely transit through it; verify origin and routing documents early.
