A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is assuming that absence of a named sectoral PGA means the import is entirely free. Policy Condition No. 1 of Chapter 96 can impose a licence or end-use restriction that is enforceable at the bill of entry; importers who do not check the current text of the ITC (HS) Schedule before shipment risk consignment detention and demurrage at port pending regularisation.
