A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the NDPS and CIB&RC overlays are mutually exclusive — they are not. A substance can simultaneously fall within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 and attract NDPS conditions, requiring both a CIB&RC import permit and an NDPS import certificate. Failing to assess both regimes before shipment can result in consignment detention at the designated insecticide-import port and a separate NDPS contravention under the NDPS Act, 1985.
