A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that only one regulatory track applies — either CIB&RC or NDPS — without evaluating both concurrently. Furfuraldehyde may simultaneously fall within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 and engage NDPS controls depending on the declared end-use; arriving at the bill-of-entry stage without both the CIB&RC import permit and, where applicable, the NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 results in consignment detention. The Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are a separate overlay and are required regardless of which PGA track applies.
