A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as the sole clearance requirement and overlooking the NDPS overlay. If dinoseb acetate is or contains a scheduled NDPS substance, the import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is a separate, independent pre-import condition — its absence renders the consignment liable to seizure regardless of CIB&RC permit currency. Confirm the NDPS scheduled status with the Central Bureau of Narcotics before placing the purchase order.
