The most common error on this tariff line is treating the ITC (HS) 'free' policy status under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 as implying an unrestricted import — the CWC Schedule 1B controls operate as a parallel mandatory regime that survives the 'free' classification. Consignments arriving from non-State-Party origins are liable to confiscation and criminal liability under the Chemical Weapons Convention Act, 2000 regardless of whether all other documents are in order, and the 30-day post-import notification obligation to three separate authorities is a distinct compliance deadline that cannot be satisfied retrospectively without attracting penalty.
