The restriction of import of any products is decided as per the foreign trade policy of importing country amended time to time if required.


One of the main reasons for such port restriction under import of some specific goods is that, customs authorities at importing country will have special professional officers specialized in handling in import of such specific products under foreign trade policy. Another reason is that these designed ports have special infrastructure like laboratory and other testing institutions approved by government.

vimal kurian : I have come across your site and I am wondering if you could answer my question. I have a legal polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and arctic wolf hide with me. I was working in the arctic for 5 years and I purchased them while working there. Taxedermist have done a wonderful job and I would like to bring it to India. I called Customs office and CITES. CITES have no restriction in shipping the item to India and CITES India has no issue receiving it as well, but they are requesting me to complete the shipping using importing company since they are not sure what involved in customs clearance. Can you help me with this? I am not sure how to do the customs clearance now.
