A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is dispatching the consignment before the Phytosanitary Certificate is obtained from the exporting country's plant-protection authority, in the assumption that it can be remedied post-arrival. A missing or defective certificate at the bill-of-entry stage results in detention and accumulating demurrage, as no out-of-charge is issued until document code 851000 is verified in e-Sanchit by the proper officer.
