A word of counsel

The dual-regime trap on this tariff line is the most common operational error: importers who treat this as a straightforward organic chemical intermediate overlook that if the substance or a formulation derived from it appears in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, a separate CIB&RC registration and port-specific import permit become mandatory — independent of the Narcotics Commissioner NOC already required. Shipping to a non-CIB&RC-notified port while holding an otherwise valid NOC constitutes a distinct Insecticides Rules contravention and exposes the consignment to detention and confiscation.
