A word of counsel

The dual-track nature of this tariff line is its principal compliance trap: the ITC (HS) NOC from the Narcotics Commissioner and the CIB&RC registration and import permit are independent obligations triggered by different legal thresholds, and satisfying one does not discharge the other. Importers frequently treat the Narcotics Commissioner's NOC as the sole clearance and overlook the CIB&RC scheduled-substance check; a consignment that carries a valid NOC but lacks the CIB&RC permit where the substance is scheduled will be detained at the restricted port of import under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, attracting demurrage and potential confiscation.
