Tris (2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate, halogenated phosphate ester
HSN 2920 29 30 (Tris (2,3-Dibromopropyl) phosphate) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Rules, 1985 conditions apply if the substance is classified under an NDPS schedule, and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 governs the import-policy overlay. Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Circular 23/2023-Cus mandates additional Chapter 29 qualifiers in the import declaration with effect from 15 October 2023.

- 1Confirm whether the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it does, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before the consignment is dispatched, and note that import is permitted only at the restricted places specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, import for medical and scientific purposes requires an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 (Chapter VII-A). Any import outside that category is governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule and must comply with ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3File the bill of entry with 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 import of this specified hazardous substance exceeds prescribed quantities, the owner must hold a Public Liability Insurance policy per 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 critical trap on this tariff line is the dual-regime overlap: importers who obtain only the CIB&RC permit and overlook the NDPS Rules, 1985 conditions — or vice versa — face detention and confiscation if customs verification reveals an unfulfilled PGA clearance. Additionally, the port-restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 is often overlooked; routing the consignment to an unlisted port renders the CIB&RC permit inapplicable and exposes the importer to seizure even where all other documents are current.
