Hexachlorodifluoropropane
Perhalogenated chlorofluoropropane (hexachlorodifluoropropane)
HSN 2903 77 36 (Hexachlorodifluoropropane) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import certificate requirements under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Restricted-import policy condition 1 of Chapter 29 apply as additional clearance requirements.

- 1Confirm whether the specific substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it does, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry, and 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 1 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance is scheduled under the NDPS framework, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes via the Central Bureau of Narcotics (cbn.nic.in); all other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3File mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration as required under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 (paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2) with effect from 15-10-2023. Where import quantities of specified hazardous substances exceed prescribed thresholds, procure a Public Liability Insurance policy as required by 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 assuming that CIB&RC applicability is automatic: the Schedule-check is mandatory but the outcome is product-specific, and filing a bill of entry without confirming Schedule inclusion — and obtaining the permit if required — results in consignment detention at the notified port while permit compliance is resolved. The CBIC Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under Circular 23/2023-Cus are a separate and concurrent obligation; their omission triggers a misdeclaration flag independent of the PGA clearance status.
