https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=72256 Import of parrots as unaccompanied baggage without an import licence was treated as unauthorised because the controlled import regime under the Imports & Exports (Control) Act, 1947 and the Imports (Control) Order, 1955 restricted such goods. The policy permitted wild or zoo animals and birds only for recognised zoos and subject to CITES conditions, and the claimed description of the parrots as pets or baggage was rejected because the admitted purpose was breeding and local sale. In the absence of a valid import licence or CCP, the import breached the restriction framework and the absolute confiscation of the parrots was upheld. en-us Mon, 16 Sep 1985 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 16 May 2011 10:56:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=72256 Import of parrots as unaccompanied baggage without an import licence was treated as unauthorised because the controlled import regime under the Imports & Exports (Control) Act, 1947 and the Imports (Control) Order, 1955 restricted such goods.
