A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is overlooking the port-of-import restriction: the CIB&RC regime confines insecticide imports to specified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, and routing a consignment to an unlisted port — even with a current registration and permit — triggers seizure. Additionally, importers with quantities of specified hazardous substances exceeding thresholds under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 must hold a Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 policy before clearance.
