Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment, where this substance appears in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Route the consignment only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; import at any non-notified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.

2
If the substance qualifies as a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes; all other NDPS-category imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Confirm at the bill-of-entry stage which NDPS category applies before filing.

Ensure mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers are declared in the import entry in compliance with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, operative from 15 October 2023. Where import of this specified hazardous substance exceeds prescribed quantities, obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC registration and NDPS obligations as mutually exclusive tracks and obtaining only one clearance. Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate may simultaneously trigger the Insecticides Act pesticide schedule and NDPS classification, and a consignment that clears CIB&RC without the NDPS import certificate — or vice versa — is detained pending the missing PGA clearance, with demurrage and ground rent accruing throughout. Additionally, the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are a separate customs-declaration obligation independent of both PGA clearances.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2919 10 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this halogenated phosphoric ester. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS Rules, 1985 overlay and DGFT ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.

Which ports are notified for import of insecticides under this tariff line?

The places at which insecticides may be imported are restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current notified list must be confirmed with CIB&RC before placing the purchase order, as import at a non-notified location constitutes a violation under the Insecticides Act, 1968.

Does the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 obligation apply to every shipment?

No — the insurance requirement under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 is triggered only when import of the specified hazardous substance exceeds the prescribed threshold quantities; consignments below those quantities are not subject to this obligation.
