Non-compliance with any of these conditions renders the consignment liable to detention and re-export or confiscation under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the sparse ITC (HS) policy-condition reference as a formality rather than a binding import restriction. Policy conditions 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter 38 must be read in the current ITC (HS) Schedule and confirmed against the specific nature of the preparation being imported; a consignment arriving without documented compliance with all three conditions is liable to detention at the port of import pending adjudication.
