A word of counsel

The Restricted-import status under policy condition no. 4 is origin-specific: consignments of the same product from countries other than South Korea are not caught by this condition, but origin misdeclaration to circumvent the restriction attracts confiscation and monetary penalty under the Customs Act, 1962. Verify country-of-origin documentation, including the certificate of origin, against the actual manufacturer details before shipment.
