- 2Where the substance is a scheduled NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for imports covered by Chapter VII-A (medical and scientific purposes).

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that only one regulatory track applies: CIB&RC registration is triggered by the substance falling within the Insecticides Act schedule, while the NDPS overlay is triggered independently by scheduling under the NDPS Rules — both can apply simultaneously to the same consignment. An importer who secures only the CIB&RC permit without checking NDPS scheduling, or vice versa, risks detention and seizure at the port of import, because customs out-of-charge requires all applicable PGA clearances to be reflected in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is assessed.
