- 1Where the specific substance falling under this CTI is listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain both registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before the consignment is shipped. Route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; arrival at an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Where the substance is a scheduled NDPS item, import is permitted only for medical and scientific purposes under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 after obtaining an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules.

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a single bill of entry without first resolving which of the three overlapping regimes — CIB&RC scheduled insecticide, NDPS scheduled substance, or CWC-controlled chemical — applies to the specific substance being imported. Each regime carries its own pre-import authorisation, and a consignment cleared under one regime's documentation that is simultaneously subject to another regime's restriction is treated as unauthorised importation, attracting seizure, monetary penalty, and potential criminal liability under the respective Acts. Identify the CAS number and cross-check all three schedules before placing the purchase order.
