A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC registration alone satisfies all clearance requirements while overlooking the port-of-import restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. A consignment routed to an unnotified port is liable to detention irrespective of whether the CIB&RC permit is current. Additionally, the mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are a distinct declaration obligation — omitting them from the import declaration triggers a separate Customs compliance deficiency, independently of PGA clearance status.
