A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC registration covers the import comprehensively, without separately verifying whether the substance also triggers NDPS import-certificate obligations under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 — these are parallel regimes with independent documentation. Additionally, importers frequently overlook the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 requirement: for specified hazardous substances imported in excess of the quantities prescribed under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992, the owner must hold a valid insurance policy before out-of-charge.
