A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS pathways as mutually exclusive — in practice, a single consignment may simultaneously require a CIB&RC import permit (where the substance is a scheduled insecticide) and an NDPS import certificate (where it also qualifies as a psychotropic precursor). Neither clearance substitutes for the other, and a bill of entry lacking either applicable clearance will be detained at the notified import point under the respective Act.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2903 99 70 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers halogenated hydrocarbon derivatives in this residual category.

Which ports or places are notified for import of scheduled insecticides under this tariff line?

Import of insecticides figuring in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 is restricted to notified places as prescribed under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list of notified import points should be confirmed with CIB&RC before shipment.

When does the Public Liability Insurance requirement apply to this HSN?

Where the imported quantity of a specified hazardous substance exceeds the threshold prescribed under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the importer must obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 before taking delivery.
