Dichloroaniline
Dichloroaniline, aniline derivatives and their salts
HSN 2921 42 13 (Dichloroaniline) 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, with import restricted to notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Rules, 1985 conditions and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) controls under the ITC (HS) policy administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) apply as additional clearance overlays. Mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus apply at the bill-of-entry stage.
- Registration and permit from CIB&RC
- Import certificate from NDPS
- Chapter 29 qualifiers from CBIC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Where dichloroaniline falls within the schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain CIB&RC registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry. Verify that the port of importation is among the places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, as import through un-notified ports is not permitted.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2If the substance or any component in the consignment is an NDPS-scheduled substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, for medical and scientific purposes; all other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix I to ITC (HS) Schedule I per ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 to Chapter 29.Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 to Chapter 29
- 3Comply with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 by including mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2, with effect from 15-10-2023. Where the consignment involves CWC-scheduled nitrogen mustards or Category IB substances, confirm the exporting country is a State Party to the CWC and that national authority permission is obtained per Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) policy.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · Appendix II to Schedule I (Cat 1A and Cat IB) of ITC (HS) policy
The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC compliance as the sole gate and overlooking the layered CWC and NDPS overlay triggers, which are activated by specific molecular sub-types present within the broader dichloroaniline family. An importer who clears CIB&RC registration but imports a CWC Category IB substance from a non-State Party faces confiscation and criminal liability independently of the insecticide clearance. Confirm the precise molecular identity of the substance against all three overlay schedules before the purchase order is placed.
