A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is presenting a Phytosanitary Certificate that was issued after the consignment departed the exporting country, or one that covers a different wood species or lot — both render the document invalid for customs clearance purposes. The proper officer is required to verify the 851000 document code in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge; a missing or mismatched certificate results in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage until a compliant certificate is obtained.

The Phytosanitary Certificate is issued by the competent plant-protection authority of the exporting country and must be uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000 before the bill of entry is processed for out-of-charge.

What happens if the Phytosanitary Certificate is missing at the time of customs examination?
