A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is shipping the consignment before the Phyto-Sanitary Certificate is issued and uploaded, on the assumption that it can be submitted after arrival. The customs proper officer is required to verify the PSC upload in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge regardless of whether the bill was PGA-facilitated; a missing or mismatched document code 851000 results in consignment detention, accruing demurrage and ground rent until the document is regularised.
