- 1Where 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 shipment.

- 2If the substance qualifies as an NDPS-scheduled item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes; imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Consult the Central Bureau of Narcotics (cbn.nic.in) for the current schedule and procedural requirements.Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) Appendix-I
- 3Comply with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 by including mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities, as stipulated in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2, effective 15 October 2023. Additionally, where the import of specified hazardous substances exceeds prescribed quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 as notified 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 treating the CIB&RC schedule-check as a formality and filing without confirming whether the specific substance — or a formulation containing it — has been notified under the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it has, importing without registration and a valid permit attracts seizure at the restricted port and prosecution under the Insecticides Act, independent of any NDPS or DGFT policy exposure. The port restriction under Rule 45 operates even when all other documentation is in order.
