Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid CIB&RC Certificate of Registration or Import Permit under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 before shipment. No import of beflubutamid (a listed insecticide under Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968) is permitted from any source not specified on the certificate or permit; import of 6-Benzyladenine for non-insecticidal purposes separately requires an Import Permit from the Registration Committee.
Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
2
Comply with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 by including the mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities. These qualifiers under paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 are operative with effect from 15-10-2023 and apply to all bills of entry filed for this CTI.

3
Where import involves specified hazardous substances exceeding the notified quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 as required under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Confirm the consignment does not involve narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances covered under policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as interchangeable with an import permit: registration covers import for insecticidal end-use from the approved source only, while import for non-insecticidal purposes requires a separate permit from the Registration Committee — a distinction that customs officers verify at the bill of entry. Shipping beflubutamid from a source not named on the registration certificate is grounds for seizure under the Insecticides Act, 1968, regardless of whether a valid certificate exists.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2921 41 30 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers aniline-derivative agrochemicals or insecticides under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a CDSCO overlay where the substance meets the medical-device definition under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

Are there port restrictions on the import of insecticides under this CTI?

Yes. The places at which insecticides may be imported are restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the permissible ports are those specified on the CIB&RC certificate or import permit and confirmed in the court order reported at 2002 (146) ELT 19 (SC).

Does the free-import status under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 remove the CIB&RC registration requirement?

No. The free-import classification under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025 refers to the ITC (HS) tariff-policy status only; CIB&RC registration or permit under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 remains a mandatory pre-import condition independent of the DGFT policy designation.
