The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) notified the Single Use Plastic prohibition regime via G.S.R. 571(E) dated 12-08-2021, and IUPAC name and CAS number declarations are mandatory at bill-of-entry filing under CBIC Circular 15/2023-Cus dated 07-06-2023.

- 1Register as an importer on the CPCB centralised EPR portal under Rule 6 of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022, before the first bill of entry is filed. Rule 7.3 of the same Rules prescribes ongoing EPR obligations on importers of plastic packaging products, including reporting and fulfilment targets.Rule 6 and Rule 7.3 of the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 133(E) dated 16-02-2022 · CBIC Instruction 09/2022-Customs dated 22-06-2022
- 2Declare the IUPAC name and CAS number of all constituent chemicals at the time of filing the import declaration; these are mandatory Chapter 39 qualifiers for all bills of entry filed on or after 01-10-2023. Non-declaration results in the bill of entry being treated as deficient at the gate.CBIC Circular 15/2023-Cus dated 07-06-2023 · CBIC Circular 18/2023-Cus dated 30-06-2023
- 3Confirm that the consignment does not fall within the Single Use Plastic prohibition under Rule 4(2) of the Plastic Waste Management Rules as amended by G.S.R. 571(E) dated 12-08-2021 and further amended by G.S.R. 807(E) dated 30-10-2023. If importing via Bangladesh origin, verify applicability of port restrictions under Para 19 of the General Notes to ITC (HS) 2022 per DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025.G.S.R. 571(E) dated 12-08-2021 · G.S.R. 807(E) dated 30-10-2023 · DGFT Notification 7/2025-26 dated 17-05-2025
The most overlooked obligation on this tariff line is the distinction between the product-prohibition check and the EPR registration: clicking boards themselves are not Single Use Plastic items, but an importer who has not registered on the CPCB EPR portal is in breach of Rule 6 from the date of first import — regardless of the product's end use. Customs out-of-charge does not cure a missing EPR registration; CPCB enforcement actions, including monetary penalty under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, run independently of customs clearance.
