A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the CIB&RC insecticide-schedule check with the NDPS import-certificate requirement and treating them as mutually exclusive. Both regimes can apply simultaneously to a single consignment of guanidine nitrate: the CIB&RC pathway governs Schedule-listed pesticidal uses, while the NDPS Rules, 1985 govern any narcotic or psychotropic classification independently. Importers who obtain only one clearance and file the bill of entry risk detention and an out-of-charge refusal pending the missing PGA NOC.
