The most frequent compliance failure on this tariff line is obtaining CPCB portal registration but overlooking the concurrent Hazardous Waste Rules overlay: plastic scrap imported without demonstrating compliance with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 is liable to detention and re-export regardless of EPR registration status. The two regimes are independently triggered and must both be satisfied at the bill-of-entry stage.
