Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid certificate of registration or, where Gossyplure is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, an import permit from the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act. Import is restricted to the source specified on the registration certificate or permit; deviation to an unlisted source attracts seizure under the Insecticides Act and Rules. Confirm designated port compliance under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

Where Gossyplure falls within the notified medical device list, confirm CDSCO registration as required under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If the consignment quantity exceeds the threshold for specified hazardous substances, obtain a Public Liability Insurance policy per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a CIB&RC registration certificate obtained for one import source covers shipments from an alternate supplier or country of origin — it does not. The registration committee specifies the permitted source on the face of the certificate, and a consignment arriving from any other source is treated as an unregistered insecticide import regardless of chemical identity, attracting confiscation and prosecution under the Insecticides Act. Verify the source declaration on the commercial invoice against the exact source named on the CIB&RC certificate before the purchase order is placed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2916 19 51 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers Gossyplure or this product family under Chapter 29. Import is governed principally by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act and Insecticides Rules, 1971, with CDSCO, MOHFW, and DGFT policy-condition overlays as applicable.

Is Gossyplure importable through all Indian ports, or are entry points restricted?

Entry points are restricted; import of insecticides is permitted only at places specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, and the CIB&RC registration certificate or import permit will specify the permitted ports of import.

What happens if Gossyplure is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose without the CIB&RC registration?

An import permit from the CIB&RC Registration Committee is still mandatory for non-insecticidal imports; importing without such a permit constitutes a violation of the Insecticides Act and renders the consignment liable to seizure and the importer to prosecution.
