Compliance steps

1
Where pentyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one 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 notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; routing through any non-notified port of entry renders the consignment liable to seizure.

2
If the substance is an NDPS-scheduled item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes via the Narcotics Control Bureau (http://cbn.nic.in). Imports outside the medical and scientific category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.

Ensure mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers are declared in the import declaration as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15 October 2023. Where import of specified hazardous substances exceeds specified quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the provisions of the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC registration alone suffices and overlooking the dual-regime trap: if the substance is simultaneously scheduled under the NDPS Rules, both the CIB&RC import permit and the Rule 53 NDPS import certificate are required, and neither clears the other. Failure to file the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus by the time of the bill of entry results in detention at the port, accumulating demurrage and ground rent pending a corrected declaration.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2914 29 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this organic chemical. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with an NDPS overlay under the NDPS Rules, 1985 and ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 administered by DGFT.

Are there port restrictions for importing insecticides under this tariff line?

Yes. Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 restricts import of scheduled insecticides to notified places only; importers must verify the notified port list with the CIB&RC secretariat before finalising the bill of lading.

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

The Rule 53 import certificate is required only when the specific substance imported under CTI 2914 29 30 is scheduled under the NDPS Rules, 1985; where the substance does not fall in that schedule, NDPS controls do not apply, but the CIB&RC and CBIC qualifier obligations remain.
