A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing copper fasteners under Chapter 74 without checking TRQ applicability — importers assume free-import status for generic copper hardware and overlook the DGFT-administered TRQ scheme triggered by the revised India-Nepal treaty. An import that exceeds the TRQ allocation or lacks a valid DGFT allocation letter is treated as a policy violation, attracting consignment detention and potential re-export liability at the bill of entry stage.
