A word of counsel

The CCR for this tariff line references only the bare Chapter 38 policy condition numbers without elaborating their substance — the operative text of conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 must be retrieved from the current ITC (HS) Schedule and confirmed against the specific formulation being imported before the purchase order is placed. Treating the absence of a named PGA licence as an absence of restriction is the most common error: the ITC (HS) policy conditions are independently enforceable at the bill-of-entry stage and non-compliance triggers detention even where no sectoral PGA clearance is required.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3812 39 30 require BIS certification?

No, vulcanizing agents for rubber are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the ITC (HS) import policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, with policy condition nos. 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 applying at the bill-of-entry stage.

What do ITC (HS) Chapter 38 policy conditions 1 and 2 require for this tariff line?

The regulatory record records only that conditions 1 and 2 of Chapter 38 apply; the operative text of each condition must be verified against the current ITC (HS) Schedule published by DGFT, as the substance of the conditions is not reproduced in the Customs compliance record for this CTI.

Is a DGFT import licence required, or is a policy-condition declaration sufficient?

The CCR specifies that import may be subject to the Chapter 38 policy conditions, which are declaration-based overlays rather than a prior-licence requirement; however, failure to satisfy either condition at the bill of entry triggers Restricted-import enforcement and potential consignment detention.
