HSN 2904 99 10 (2,5-dichloronitrobenzene) 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) Rules, 1985 controls apply as a concurrent overlay, and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 governs non-medical/scientific imports.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- Chapter 29 qualifiers from CBIC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1If the substance figures in 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. Import is restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; routing through an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Where the consignment is imported for medical or scientific purposes under the NDPS overlay, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before shipment. Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2, Chapter 29
- 3File the bill of entry with mandatory additional qualifiers as required for Chapter 29 commodities under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, applicable with effect from 15 October 2023 per paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2. Where the import quantity of specified hazardous substances exceeds the prescribed threshold, take out an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 as per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, paras 4.1 and 4.2 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC registration alone covers all compliance pathways. The NDPS overlay is independent — where the substance or an intermediate falls within the NDPS scheduled-substance list, the import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 must be obtained separately and cannot be substituted by the CIB&RC permit. An import lacking the Rule 53 certificate where NDPS controls apply attracts confiscation and criminal liability under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, regardless of the status of the insecticide registration.
