3
Comply with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 governing transboundary movement and import authorisation of halogenated waste. Non-compliance is an independent regulatory violation distinct from the DGFT Restricted-import breach.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating DGFT Restricted-import clearance as the sole obligation and overlooking the independent authorisation requirements under Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. A bill of entry that satisfies the ITC (HS) policy condition but lacks valid transboundary-movement authorisation under those Rules remains non-compliant and is liable to detention, monetary penalty, and re-export at the importer's cost.
