CIB&RC CLEARANCE · NDPS CLEARANCE

Compliance steps

1
Where para chloroaniline figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee. Route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; import through any non-notified place is prohibited.
Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition, Chapter 29
2
If the consignment involves any NDPS-listed substance, secure an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes (Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules), or confirm classification under Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule for other permitted imports. CWC-controlled nitrogen mustards and Schedule 1B precursors are permitted only from State Parties to the CWC subject to Appendix II conditions.

3
Submit mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration at the bill of entry as stipulated in Para 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, applicable to all Chapter 29 commodities with effect from 15 October 2023. Additionally, where the imported quantity of specified hazardous substances exceeds the threshold, take out a public liability 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 the bill of entry solely on the basis of a general CIB&RC registration while overlooking the port-of-import restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. A consignment routed through a non-notified port is liable to detention and seizure regardless of the validity of the registration certificate. Simultaneously, the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus must be embedded in the import declaration itself — an omission triggers hold at the gateway even when all PGA clearances are in order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2921 42 11 require BIS certification?

No, para chloroaniline is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with concurrent NDPS Rules, 1985 conditions and CWC-based ITC (HS) policy controls administered by DGFT.

Which ports are notified for import of insecticides under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971?

The permitted places of import are restricted and specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current notified-port list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC Secretariat before placing the shipment order, as routing to a non-notified port constitutes a violation independent of licence validity.

When does the NDPS import certificate requirement apply to this tariff line?

The NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required where the specific substance falling under HSN 2921 42 11 is scheduled under the NDPS Act and is being imported for medical or scientific purposes under Chapter VII-A; other permitted imports are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.
