Statutory reference consolidation requires earlier citations to be read as references to the consolidated customs import rules. Any citation in rules, notifications, circulars, instructions, standing orders, trade notices or other orders to prior concessional import rules or corresponding provisions shall be construed as a reference to the Customs (Import of Goods at Concessional Rate of Duty or for Specified End Use) Rules, 2022, ensuring continuity and mapping of earlier statutory references to the consolidated Rules.
