A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS regimes as mutually exclusive: a consignment may simultaneously engage both the Insecticides Act, 1968 registration requirement and the NDPS Rules, 1985 import-certificate requirement, depending on the precise use category and scheduling status. Shipping to an unspecified port while a Rule 45 restriction is active renders the import unlawful regardless of whether all PGA clearances are otherwise in order, exposing the consignment to seizure and the importer to prosecution under the Insecticides Act, 1968.
