Compliance steps

1
Obtain mandatory registration or, where pyridaben is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, an import permit from the CIB&RC Registration Committee under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968. Import is restricted to the source specified on the certificate of registration or permit; diversion to any other source constitutes a registration violation and attracts seizure under the Insecticides Act.
Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
2
Ensure all mandatory additional qualifiers are declared in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, applicable with effect from 15-10-2023. Verify the Finance Bill 2025 amendments are reflected in the bill of entry with effect from 01-05-2025.

Where the imported quantity of pyridaben constitutes a specified hazardous substance exceeding the threshold quantities, the owner must obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 as notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MEFCC) under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a CIB&RC registration certificate is transferable across import sources. The registration committee specifies the permitted source of supply on the face of the certificate, and consignments arriving from any unlisted supplier — even if chemically identical — are treated as unregistered imports under the Insecticides Act, 1968, attracting detention and potential confiscation regardless of the importer's bona fides. Verify source-of-supply alignment between the purchase order and the CIB&RC certificate before placing the overseas order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2914 29 60 require BIS certification?

No, pyridaben falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with CDSCO and MOHFW overlays under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 where applicable.

Is a separate import permit required when pyridaben is imported for non-insecticidal research or industrial use?

Yes. Where pyridaben is imported for a purpose other than use as an insecticide, an import permit from the CIB&RC Registration Committee is required in lieu of full registration, per Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968.

Do the NDPS policy conditions under Chapter 29 apply to pyridaben?

Policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29 apply to narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances covered under that chapter; pyridaben is classified as a listed insecticide under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and its primary clearance route is through CIB&RC, not the NDPS framework.
