The single most common error on this tariff line is treating wooden shuttering as a generic structural product and overlooking the phyto-sanitary condition that attaches to all wood-based imports. A consignment arriving without a valid Phyto-Sanitary Certificate uploaded under document code 851000 will be detained at port pending compliance, accruing demurrage and ground rent; the certificate cannot be substituted by a certificate of origin or a fumigation certificate.
