A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing copper hollow profiles under Chapter 74 without securing a DGFT TRQ allocation first, under the mistaken assumption that the TRQ applies only to bulk commodity forms. DGFT Public Notice 17/2023 covers all copper products under Chapter 74, including hollow profiles; consignments arriving without a valid TRQ allocation letter face detention and potential re-export.
