We have imported a shipment of material under 39232100. unfortunately the goods arrived before we registered with CPCB for Importers (CBIC INSTRUCTION NO.09/2022-CUSTOMS DATED 22-06-2022) as per PARA 6.5 OF THE GUIDELINES ON EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLASTIC PACKAGING UNDER RULE 9(1) OF SCHEDULE-II OF THE PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT (AMENDMENT) RULES, 2022 (REFER GSR 133(E) DATED 16-02-2022 OF THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE) AND CBIC INSTRUCTION NO.09/2022-CUSTOMS DATED 22-06-2022., meanwhile we applied for application and has been in approved status on CPCB site.

Now the assessing officer is arguing that the certificate is after the Bill of lading date which is violation of registration as per PARA 6.5 OF THE GUIDELINES ON EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLASTIC PACKAGING CBIC INSTRUCTION NO.09/2022-CUSTOMS DATED 22-06-2022.
