The most common error on this tariff line is importing without first confirming whether the specific substance appears in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 — the CIB&RC registration and permit obligation and the port restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 are triggered only if the substance is so listed, but customs officers will treat an undeclared scheduled substance as an unauthorised import, attracting seizure and monetary penalty. Where the substance carries a concurrent NDPS schedule entry, a separate Rule 53 import certificate is required in addition to any CIB&RC permit; one certificate does not substitute for the other.
