- 1Verify whether the specific substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If so, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee, and route the consignment only through ports permissible under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Where the substance is imported for medical or scientific purposes under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 (Chapter VII-A). All other NDPS-regulated imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29
- 3Ensure the bill of entry carries mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus. Where the consignment quantity of a specified hazardous substance exceeds the notified threshold, take out a public liability insurance policy under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS tracks as mutually exclusive — in practice, a substance can simultaneously fall within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 and engage NDPS controls, requiring separate CIB&RC registration, a Rule 53 NDPS import certificate, and the Chapter 29 CBIC qualifier declarations, all at the bill of entry stage. Failure to obtain the Rule 53 certificate before arrival — rather than after — results in consignment detention, as the certificate must pre-exist the import, not cure it retrospectively.
