Cinnamic aldehyde
Cinnamic aldehyde, aromatic aldehyde organic chemical
HSN 2912 29 10 (Cinnamic aldehyde) is subject to registration and import permit requirements of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import-certificate controls under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 apply as a concurrent overlay, alongside DGFT ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 and mandatory Chapter 29 qualifier declarations under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus.

- 1Where cinnamic aldehyde 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. Import is restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to a non-notified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance is subject to NDPS controls, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before the bill of entry is filed. Imports for medical and scientific purposes are governed by Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985; all other imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Include mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, effective 15 October 2023. Upload all mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate (101dc1), and import licence (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that the CIB&RC registration and NDPS controls are mutually exclusive — importers often satisfy one regime while overlooking the other. Cinnamic aldehyde may simultaneously engage both the Insecticides Act, 1968 Schedule and the NDPS Rules, 1985 controls depending on its intended use and declared composition; filing a bill of entry without both clearances uploaded in e-Sanchit results in detention pending out-of-charge, with demurrage accruing at the designated port.
