Verify that the mandatory e-Sanchit documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate (101dc1), and import licence (9111dc) — are uploaded before out-of-charge.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the CIB&RC registration and permit requirement is a universal condition rather than a schedule-contingent one — failing to confirm whether the specific batch or formulation falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 before shipment. Where the substance is schedule-listed, the port-of-import restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 is absolute; arrival at a non-notified port triggers seizure even when the registration certificate is current. A parallel check against the NDPS Appendix-I list is equally necessary, as the dual-regime overlap is not self-evident from the tariff line alone.
