- 2Route the consignment exclusively through ports notified for insecticide imports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry at a general-purpose port without confirming it is notified for insecticide imports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. A consignment of Thiram arriving at an unnotified port faces detention and demurrage while awaiting diversion, and the mandatory Chapter 3808 qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus must be populated in the import declaration at the time of filing — retrospective amendment after examination is not routinely permitted.
