    Verify that the import of the urea-ammonium nitrate solution complies with the conditions prescribed under the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985, as amended from time to time, before filing the bill of entry. Non-compliant consignments are liable to detention and refusal of out-of-charge.
    Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985, as amended
  2. 2
    Confirm the applicable ITC (HS) import policy condition for Chapter 31 at the time of filing; any restricted or canalised status under the current ITC (HS) schedule governs whether a DGFT import licence or canalisation through a nominated agency is required.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that compliance with the Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985 is a formality — the Order's requirements include specification, labelling, and registration conditions that are verified at the bill-of-entry stage. Importers who ship without confirming the current amendment status of the Order face consignment detention; the Order is amended periodically, and the operative conditions at the date of import govern, not those in force at the time of purchase.
