A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming a single clearance track applies: importers focus on the CIB&RC permit and overlook that the NDPS and CWC overlays operate independently and simultaneously. A consignment cleared by CIB&RC but lacking the NDPS import certificate — or originating from a non-CWC State Party for a Category 1 chemical — faces detention, confiscation, and potential criminal liability regardless of the pesticide registration status. Verify which schedules and appendices capture the specific substance before placing the purchase order.
