Amends Schedule - I (Imports) of the ITC(HS) Classifications of Export and Import Items, 2004-09 - 59 (RE-2007)/2004-2009 - Foreign Trade Policy

Import controls on CWC scheduled chemicals require prior permission for Schedule 1 and mandatory post import notifications for others.

The amendment integrates Chemical Weapons Convention schedules into Schedule I (Imports) of the ITC(HS), restricting Schedule 1 chemicals to imports only with prior permission from the National Authority under the Chemical Weapons Convention Act, 2000, permitting Schedule 2 imports only from State Parties and requiring importers to notify specified national authorities and submit a bill of entry within 30 days, and allowing Schedule 3 imports from all countries subject to the same 30 day post import notification and bill of entry requirement.
