A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the 'Free' ITC (HS) import status — as updated by DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 — as an unconditional clearance. 'Free' here is qualified: the origin-restriction to Chemical Weapons Convention State Parties and the 30-day post-import notification obligation to three separate authorities are binding conditions, not optional formalities. Failure to notify within 30 days constitutes a breach of the import policy condition independent of whether customs out-of-charge has already been obtained.
