A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that compliance with one regulatory track — either CIB&RC registration or the NDPS import certificate — satisfies the full clearance obligation. Both regimes operate independently: a valid NDPS import certificate does not substitute for CIB&RC registration where the substance is scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968, and vice versa. Additionally, the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 insurance obligation under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 is triggered where specified hazardous substances are imported in quantities exceeding the prescribed thresholds — this obligation is separate from both PGA licences.
