A word of counsel

The critical trap on this tariff line is the dual-regime overlap: importers who obtain only the CIB&RC permit and overlook the NDPS Rules, 1985 conditions — or vice versa — face detention and confiscation if customs verification reveals an unfulfilled PGA clearance. Additionally, the port-restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 is often overlooked; routing the consignment to an unlisted port renders the CIB&RC permit inapplicable and exposes the importer to seizure even where all other documents are current.
