A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is assuming that the 'miscellaneous manufactured articles' classification excuses drug-documentation requirements — it does not. The e-Sanchit verification requirement applies regardless of whether the consignment is routed through a PGA for NOC; the proper officer will verify all five document codes (0010DC, 0030DC, 0110DC, 101DC1, 9111DC) before granting out-of-charge, and a single missing document triggers detention pending upload.
