The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC and NDPS controls as mutually exclusive — importers confirm one and overlook the other. Propylphosphonic dichloride may simultaneously attract Schedule-based CIB&RC registration, NDPS-regime conditionality, and the ITC (HS) Appendix-II restricted-import overlay; each operates independently, and a consignment cleared under one regime without satisfying the others remains liable to detention, seizure, and monetary penalty at the port.
