<h1>Supreme Court Directives Enforce Stricter Controls on Hazardous Waste Imports; Customs Labs Upgrade and Ports Staff Deployment Required.</h1> The circular addresses the Supreme Court of India's directives concerning the import of hazardous waste, as outlined in the judgment dated 14.10.2003 in WP No. 657/95. It mandates the upgradation of Customs laboratories and staff deployment at ports, prohibits the import of 29 hazardous items, and requires actions against illegal imports, particularly waste oil. The circular emphasizes strict regulation of ship-breaking activities and outlines procedures for disposing of hazardous waste at ports. Importers must furnish bank guarantees for certain imports, and Customs must ensure compliance with the Hazardous Waste Rules before clearance. Monitoring Committees are tasked with overseeing compliance and disposal processes.
