The single most common error on this tariff line is presenting a Phytosanitary Certificate that covers a broader timber description in the exporting country's documentation but does not specifically identify saw logs or veneer logs as the commodity. A mismatch between the certificate's commodity description and the bill of entry causes detention at port pending re-certification, which typically cannot be remedied without the exporter re-engaging the issuing authority.
