Pyrethrum

Pyrethrum, plant material for insecticidal use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 1211 90 26 (Pyrethrum) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other plants and plant parts under Chapter 12 used in pharmacy or as processed insecticidal preparations may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Pyrethrum classified here is the raw or dried plant material; pyrethrin extracts and formulated insecticidal concentrates derived from it may be regulated under different chapters — including Chapter 38 (miscellaneous chemical products) — where pesticide-registration and import-licence obligations can apply. Re-classification on customs examination to a more specific or processed-product line triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention. Confirm that the import precisely matches the tariff description — unprocessed plant material, whether whole, cut, crushed, or powdered — before relying on the absence of compliance here.
