Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Where anisaldehyde is listed 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. Note that import of insecticides is restricted to specified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; consignments routed through non-notified ports are liable to detention.

  2. 2
    If the consignment falls under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes as per Chapter VII-A. Imports outside the medical/scientific category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule and must comply with the applicable policy conditions.

A word of counsel

The dual-regime trap on this tariff line is the most frequent source of detention: importers who secure only the CIB&RC registration and overlook the independent NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 find their consignment detained at the port pending NDPS clearance, which cannot be obtained retrospectively at the bill of entry stage. Additionally, the insecticide-port restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 is absolute — routing a scheduled-substance consignment through a non-notified port voids the CIB&RC permit and exposes the importer to seizure and prosecution under the Insecticides Act, 1968.
