What is the legal status of shotgun chamber adapters, & what does "allowed against an Authorisation" mean?

Hello! I'm wondering about the legality surrounding the importation, possession, and ownership of shotgun chamber caliber adapters. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:



So what are the laws, if any, regarding chamber caliber adapters?

Also, I've read on http://www.customsmumbaiairport.gov.in/ ... ?LinkID=67 that "Import of following types of ammunition are allowed against an Authorisation by licensed arms dealers". What does that mean?

Thanks.

As per my knowledge one is allowed to purchase only 12 bore cartridges on a shotgun licence and even if you import the adapter you will not get any other caliber rounds legally on your arm licence

I guess the exercise is pretty futile if you do not have a license for a particular caliber already e.g. .22LR or .22 HORNET or something. Just a wild assumption. And of course how one manages to acquire the adapter.
