The single most common failure on this tariff line is tendering a Phytosanitary Certificate that covers the originating consignment broadly but does not specifically identify the wooden-stick commodity and its volume. Customs proper officers are instructed to withhold out-of-charge where the uploaded document does not clearly correspond to the bill-of-entry line item; detention and demurrage accumulate until a corrected or supplementary certificate is uploaded in e-Sanchit.
