Compliance steps

1
Determine whether Para cumidine, as imported, falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If so, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee, and route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

2
If the consignment involves an NDPS-scheduled substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before import. Imports for medical and scientific purposes proceed under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules; all other imports are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.

Ensure the bill of entry includes the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in para 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, with effect from 15-10-2023. Verify CWC restrictions: certain nitrogen mustards and related compounds are Restricted and importable only from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention subject to national authority permission per Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) policy.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that Para cumidine is invariably an insecticide-schedule substance and filing only CIB&RC documentation, while overlooking the independent NDPS and CWC overlay checks that operate on the same CTI. Each overlay — CIB&RC, NDPS, and CWC — must be assessed separately against the specific substance as described in the shipping documents; a cleared CIB&RC permit does not satisfy the import-certificate requirement under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, and consignments missing the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are liable to detention pending amendment of the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2921 49 20 require BIS certification?

No. Para cumidine is not within the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers amine-function organic chemicals under Chapter 29. Import is governed primarily by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with concurrent NDPS and CWC-based ITC (HS) policy conditions administered by DGFT.

Are all imports of Para cumidine subject to CIB&RC registration, or only some?

CIB&RC registration and an import permit are required only where the specific substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968; importers must verify the Schedule status of their particular formulation or compound before filing the bill of entry.

What are the consequences if the consignment contains a CWC Category 1A nitrogen mustard?

Import is Restricted and permitted only from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, subject to prior permission from the national authority per Appendix II to Schedule I (Cat 1A) of the ITC (HS) policy; consignments without this permission are liable to confiscation and criminal liability under the relevant CWC implementing legislation.
