A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the FSSAI Import Licence as the sole gateway and overlooking the dual-track NDPS overlay: where the Vitamin B1 derivative falls within the NDPS schedule, the import certificate under Rule 53 is a separate, independent prerequisite — its absence results in consignment detention and potential seizure under the NDPS Act regardless of FSSAI clearance. The Chapter 29 mandatory-qualifier requirement under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus is a further bill-of-entry obligation that applies independently of both PGA clearances.
