2
Ensure full compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 before and at the time of import. These rules govern transboundary movement procedures and prior informed consent requirements for waste consignments; non-compliance renders the import unlawful and exposes the importer to confiscation and prosecution.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the DGFT Restricted-import authorisation as the sole clearance requirement, overlooking that Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 impose independent transboundary movement obligations — including prior informed consent — that must be satisfied before the consignment departs the exporting country. A consignment arriving without the hazardous-waste movement documentation is liable to detention, ground rent, and re-export or confiscation regardless of whether the DGFT authorisation is in order.
