    At the bill-of-entry stage, verify that the Phytosanitary Certificate has been successfully uploaded in e-Sanchit under document code 851000.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is presenting a Phytosanitary Certificate that covers the broader wood shipment but does not specifically identify the assembled mosaic flooring panels as the commodity. A certificate issued generically for a mixed wood consignment will be rejected at e-Sanchit verification; the certificate must name the product and wood species corresponding to the 4418 74 00 declaration to obtain out-of-charge.
