Where the substance is also subject to NDPS controls, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 and ensure compliance with Chapter VII-A of those Rules before filing the bill of entry.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 (para 4.1 and 4.2) · Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CWC State-Party condition as a documentation formality rather than a substantive import bar. A consignment shipped from a non-State Party cannot be regularised at port by producing any licence or permit; it is subject to re-export or confiscation regardless of the CIB&RC or NDPS status of the importer. Confirm the exporting country's CWC membership status in writing before contract execution, not at the bill-of-entry stage.
