Compliance steps

1
Obtain CIB&RC registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment, as DDT Technical 75 WDP falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to an unspecified port renders the import unlawful.

Obtain a No Objection Certificate from the Narcotics Commissioner, Gwalior, as mandated by ITC (HS) policy condition 3 of Chapter 29. The narcotics certificate (document code xxx001) must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is processed for out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is securing CIB&RC registration while overlooking the independent NOC requirement from the Narcotics Commissioner, Gwalior — a failure that triggers consignment detention at the port pending e-Sanchit upload of document code xxx001. The two clearances operate under entirely separate statutory frameworks and neither waives nor substitutes for the other; absence of either at the bill-of-entry stage is grounds for customs out-of-charge refusal irrespective of whether the CBIC Chapter 29 qualifier declaration is complete.
