Bismuth compounds of aromatic monoacids
Bismuth compounds of aromatic monocarboxylic acids
HSN 2916 39 20 (Bismuth compounds of aromatic monoacids) is subject to the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the product figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import-certificate controls under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 apply where the substance is scheduled, and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 of Chapter 29 governs the broader Restricted-import overlay.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- Chapter 29 qualifiers from CBIC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Where the bismuth compound figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before shipment. Import is restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to any other port renders the consignment liable to seizure.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Where the substance is an NDPS-scheduled compound, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985. Imports for medical and scientific purposes are governed by Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985; all other imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under policy condition no. 2 of Chapter 29.Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Ensure all import declarations include the mandatory additional qualifiers required for Chapter 29 commodities under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2, with effect from 15 October 2023. Where the quantity of specified hazardous substances exceeds the threshold under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992, the owner must take out an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991.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 importing without first confirming whether the specific bismuth compound is listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 — the CIB&RC regime activates only for scheduled pesticides, but missing that check results in consignment detention at port and a separate NDPS-schedule verification may run concurrently. Both tracks must be resolved before customs out-of-charge; the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are required regardless of which PGA track applies.
