- 2Where the substance qualifies as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes before shipment.

The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC schedule-check as a formality and filing the bill of entry without confirming whether the specific aniline derivative is a listed insecticide. A substance that is not presently Scheduled may still attract the NDPS overlay or CWC precursor controls — both of which carry independent import restrictions and, if breached, expose the importer to criminal liability under the NDPS Act or prosecution under the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Act rather than merely a customs penalty.
