Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee for the specific insecticide substance before shipment. Import of insecticides is additionally restricted to ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; routing to any other port renders the consignment liable to seizure.

2
Where the substance is also classified as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes before filing the bill of entry. Imports outside this category are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry with only the CIB&RC registration in hand, without checking whether the specific batch or formulation simultaneously triggers NDPS Rules conditions or the Chemical Weapons Convention restricted-import conditions under Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) policy. A consignment cleared under the CIB&RC track but deficient on the NDPS import certificate or CWC national-authority permission faces detention, and the absence of Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus is treated as a declaration deficiency attracting independent customs penalty.
