HSN 2921 19 19 (Other acyclic monoamines) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 where the substance is classified as a listed medical device, and to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) mandatory registration or import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 where the substance is intended for insecticidal use. Two specific amines under this tariff line — 2-chloro N,N-diisopropyl ethylamine and 2-chloro N,N-dimethyl ethanamine — are Schedule 2 Category 1B chemicals under the Chemical Weapons Convention, permitting import only from CWC State Parties with mandatory post-import notification to the Cabinet Secretariat and DGFT.

Compliance steps

1
Where the amine compound is a listed medical device per G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, obtain CDSCO registration before filing the bill of entry. Where the compound is intended for insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, or rodenticidal use, obtain mandatory CIB&RC registration under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 or an import permit for non-insecticidal purpose; import is restricted to the source specified on the registration or permit.
G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 (MOHFW) · Section 9, Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45, Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
2
If importing 2-chloro N,N-diisopropyl ethylamine or 2-chloro N,N-dimethyl ethanamine (Schedule 2, Category 1B CWC chemicals), restrict the source to a CWC State Party. Within 30 days of import, notify the National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention (Cabinet Secretariat, Ministry of External Affairs, D&ISA), the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT.

Ensure the import declaration includes mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in Para 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15 October 2023. Where the consignment involves specified hazardous substances exceeding prescribed quantities, take out 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 filing a single bill of entry without identifying which sub-regime — CDSCO medical-device registration, CIB&RC insecticide registration, or CWC Schedule 2 notification — attaches to the specific amine being imported. All three regimes can simultaneously apply to different amines within the same 8-digit CTI, and a bill of entry that omits the CWC 30-day post-import notification obligation or lacks the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus attracts customs detention and, for CWC-listed chemicals, a separate notification-default exposure to the Cabinet Secretariat.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2921 19 19 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers acyclic monoamine compounds under this tariff line. Import is governed by CDSCO registration (for listed medical devices under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020), CIB&RC registration or permit (for insecticidal-use compounds under the Insecticides Act, 1968), and CWC notification obligations for Schedule 2 Category 1B amines.

Are all amines under CTI 2921 19 19 subject to the CWC State-Party source restriction?

No — only 2-chloro N,N-diisopropyl ethylamine and 2-chloro N,N-dimethyl ethanamine are Category 1B Schedule 2 CWC chemicals; import is permitted exclusively from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention with mandatory 30-day post-import notification to the National Authority and submission of the bill of entry to DGFT.

What happens if a CIB&RC-registered insecticide is sourced from a supplier not listed on the registration certificate?

No insecticide may be imported from a source other than that specified on the CIB&RC certificate of registration or import permit; a source deviation renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.
