Compliance steps

1
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 shipment. Import is restricted to notified ports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; routing to an unnotified port triggers detention and possible confiscation.

2
Verify the exporting country is a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Within 30 days of each import, notify consignment details to the National Authority (CWC, Cabinet Secretariat), Ministry of External Affairs (D & ISA), Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT. Failure to notify attracts enforcement under the CWC Act and Rules.

Ensure all import declarations include the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as specified in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus with effect from 15 October 2023. Where the substance is also scheduled under NDPS, an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required, and Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule governs non-medical/scientific-purpose imports.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry and treating clearance as complete, without triggering the post-import CWC notification obligation. The 30-day window to notify the National Authority, MEA (D & ISA), Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT — and to submit the bill of entry copy — runs from the date of import, not the date of clearance; a missed notification constitutes an independent contravention under the CWC Act and Rules regardless of whether the import permit and qualifiers were otherwise in order.

Yes. Where the substance figures in the schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, import is restricted to places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the active list of permitted ports should be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before booking the consignment.
