A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry without the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifiers, treating hydrazine hydrate as a straightforward industrial chemical outside the qualifier regime. CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus applies to all commodities under Chapter 28 without exception; a declaration missing the Para 4.1 and 4.2 qualifiers will be held at examination, generating demurrage and ground rent while the importer prepares a revised declaration.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2825 10 20 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers hydrazine hydrate or inorganic hydrazine salts. Import is governed by the CBIC mandatory qualifier declaration regime under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, and — where the product is classified as a drug — by the drug registration and import licence requirements under the applicable drug-control framework.

Which e-Sanchit document codes are mandatory when hydrazine hydrate is imported as a drug?

Five document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge: certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc).

From which date does the Chapter 28 mandatory qualifier requirement apply, and what triggers it?

The requirement took effect on 15 October 2023 under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus and applies to all import declarations for commodities classified under Chapter 28; it is triggered by the tariff chapter classification alone, irrespective of end-use.
