The enforcement story here isn't environmental — it's about what happens when compliance gets attached to import clearance rather than self-reporting. Customs as the chokepoint turned a voluntary obligation into a hard gate. The certificate market is the settlement layer most people have never looked at — and the floor-price litigation is the first serious attempt to defang it.
But wasn't that needed when nobody took it up seriously voluntarily? Isn't it a better way to deal with the situation than just letting it be, which did happen b/w 2012-16 and nothing changed.
