A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the drug-document set (certificate of analysis, batch release certificate, registration certificate, import licence) is the complete compliance package and overlooking the CIB&RC port restriction. Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 confines import of scheduled insecticide substances to specified ports, and arriving at an unspecified port — even with all e-Sanchit documents uploaded — will result in consignment detention pending re-routing or re-export.
