The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the CIB&RC Schedule-check is a formality. If the substance is found listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 only after arrival at port, the consignment is detained at the restricted port of import pending retroactive registration — a process that cannot be expedited — accumulating demurrage and ground rent. Confirm Schedule status and port eligibility under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 before the purchase order is issued.
