The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC and NDPS as mutually exclusive — assuming that obtaining one regulator's clearance satisfies the bill of entry. Diloxanide furoate may independently trigger both the Insecticides Act schedule and the NDPS Rules, requiring concurrent registration, permit, and import certificate from two separate authorities before out-of-charge; a consignment cleared under only one regime remains in breach and is liable to detention and confiscation under the uncomplied Act.
