A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is overlooking the South Korea-origin restriction when the goods transit through a third country or bear ambiguous origin documentation. Country of origin must be established by a certificate of origin at the bill of entry; if origin is disputed, the consignment is detained pending DGFT confirmation, attracting demurrage and ground rent while the restriction status is adjudicated.
