The most common error on this tariff line is importing under a single clearance framework while the substance simultaneously engages a second regime — specifically, treating CIB&RC permit compliance as exhaustive when the consignment also carries NDPS scheduling or CWC Appendix II status. Each regime is independent: a valid CIB&RC permit does not satisfy the NDPS import certificate requirement under Rule 53, and a CWC-scheduled substance imported from a non-State Party faces confiscation regardless of other clearances. Confirm the substance's status under all three schedules before vessel departure.
