A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the import is unconditionally free without verifying whether Policy Condition No. 1 of Chapter 96 is triggered for the specific brush type or end-use application. The condition may impose restrictions or documentation requirements that vary by product sub-category; importers who proceed without confirming applicability risk consignment detention and demurrage at port pending regularisation.
