The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the vessel before the Phytosanitary Certificate has been issued and uploaded — importers assume the certificate can be provided at the port of arrival. The customs proper officer is expressly directed to withhold out-of-charge until document code 851000 is live in e-Sanchit; a missing or incorrectly coded upload results in consignment detention, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the document deficiency is cured.
