Para toluidine
Para-toluidine, aromatic amine-function organic chemical
HSN 2921 43 50 (Para toluidine) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and Insecticides Rules, 1971, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import-certificate conditions under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) policy restrictions administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) apply as additional clearance requirements.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- 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 the substance under CTI 2921 43 50 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 before shipment. Import is restricted to places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45, Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) CCR for CTI 2921 43 50
- 2If the substance or any component falls within NDPS-scheduled categories, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes, or comply with Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule for non-medical imports. CWC-controlled nitrogen mustards or Category IB amines require DGFT clearance and must originate from State Parties to the CWC.ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29 · Appendix I and Appendix II to Schedule I (Cat 1A, Cat IB) of ITC (HS) policy · NDPS Rules, 1985, Rule 53
- 3Ensure all Chapter 29 mandatory additional qualifiers are included in the import declaration at the bill of entry, as stipulated in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, with effect from 15 October 2023. Where import quantity of specified hazardous substances exceeds the notified threshold, take out a public liability insurance policy under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the CBIC Chapter 29 qualifier obligation is purely administrative and filing the bill of entry without the mandatory additional qualifiers; non-compliance with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus from 15 October 2023 renders the declaration deficient and liable to detention at the port of import. Additionally, importers frequently overlook the restricted-port regime under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 — routing a CIB&RC-scheduled substance through a non-notified port is a separate statutory contravention, independent of whether the registration and permit are otherwise current.
