Compliance steps

1
Confirm whether the specific substance figures in 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 before shipment, and route the consignment only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

Where the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, secure an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes, or confirm the import is otherwise governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. File the bill of entry with mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15 October 2023.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS tracks as mutually exclusive: importers obtain one clearance and assume the other does not apply. Both regimes can attach simultaneously to the same consignment depending on the end-use and scheduling status of the substance. Additionally, failure to file the mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus before the bill of entry is assessed results in detention at the port of import, not merely a rectifiable deficiency.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2913 00 10 require BIS certification?

No, ortho-chloro-benzaldehyde is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers halogenated aldehyde derivatives under Chapter 29. Import is primarily governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with NDPS Rules, 1985 controls and DGFT ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 as overlays.

Which ports or places are permitted for import of insecticides under this tariff line?

Import is restricted to places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before placing a purchase order, as consignments routed through non-notified points are liable to seizure.

When does the NDPS import certificate requirement apply to this HSN?

The NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required where the substance qualifies as an NDPS substance and the import is for medical or scientific purposes; imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.
