A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to resolve, before shipment, whether the substance falls under the Insecticides Act, 1968 Schedule, the NDPS regime, or both — each track carries its own distinct permit, and a consignment arriving without the appropriate CIB&RC permit or NDPS import certificate is liable to detention and confiscation. The Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are a separate customs-declaration obligation and non-compliance triggers bill-of-entry rejection independent of PGA status.
