Other cyclic hydrocarbons (residual, non-aromatic cyclic)
HSN 2902 19 90 (Other cyclic hydrocarbons) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 where the substance falls within the Schedule to that Act. Where the substance qualifies as a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) regime under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 governs import; Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 and Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Circular 23/2023-Cus apply as additional clearance requirements.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- Import certificate from NDPS
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1If the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry. Route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2Where the substance qualifies as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes per Chapter VII-A of those Rules. Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule.Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Ensure all import declarations include the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities in e-Sanchit as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, with effect from 15 October 2023. For imports of specified hazardous substances exceeding notified quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is filing a single-track declaration without first determining whether the specific cyclic hydrocarbon activates the CIB&RC pesticide schedule, the NDPS regime, or both. A substance may clear one PGA track while remaining detained under the other; the port-of-import restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 applies independently of NDPS clearance, and consignments routed to a non-notified port face seizure even when all licences are current. Confirm the applicable schedule and the notified import port before purchase order finalisation.
