1,5- Dihydroxy naphthalene
1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene, polycyclic phenol for industrial use
HSN 2907 29 10 (1,5-Dihydroxy naphthalene) 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, with imports restricted to specified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Rules, 1985 conditions and Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 apply as additional regulatory overlays.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC

- 1Verify 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, and route the consignment only through a place at which insecticides may lawfully be imported 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
- 2If the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, import for medical or scientific purposes requires an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985. Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule; consult the Central Bureau of Narcotics (cbn.nic.in) before filing the bill of entry.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Include the mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration as required for all Chapter 29 commodities, and upload mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · Paras 4.1 and 4.2 effective 15-10-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that because 1,5-Dihydroxy naphthalene is primarily an industrial chemical dye intermediate, neither the CIB&RC Schedule nor the NDPS overlay applies. Schedule membership under the Insecticides Act, 1968 is substance-specific and must be verified against the current Schedule before each shipment; a consignment arriving without CIB&RC registration where the substance is scheduled is liable to detention and confiscation under the Insecticides Act, independently of the CBIC Chapter 29 qualifiers requirement.
