The single most common error on this tariff line is procuring the Phytosanitary Certificate after vessel departure rather than at origin before loading. A Phytosanitary Certificate that post-dates the bill of lading is rejected at the Indian port, and the consignment is detained — attracting demurrage and ground rent — until a fresh certification from the exporting country authority is obtained, which may require the goods to be returned to origin.
