Where the substance falls within 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 filing the bill of entry.

2
If the substance qualifies as an NDPS item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purpose imports under Chapter VII-A; all other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to determine at the pre-shipment stage whether the specific compound falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 — if it does, the port of import is restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 and arrival at an unnotified port triggers detention regardless of whether CIB&RC registration is otherwise current. The NDPS overlay and the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are independent obligations that apply in parallel; non-submission of either at e-Sanchit blocks out-of-charge.
