Compliance steps

1
Where the substance 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 notified places of import only — confirm the entry port is permitted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

2
As a CWC Category 1B chemical (N,N-dialkyl aminoethane-2-ols and corresponding protonated salts, with the N,N-dimethyl and N,N-diethyl aminoethanol exemptions), import is permitted only from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Within 30 days of each import consignment, notify the National Authority CWC (Cabinet Secretariat), Ministry of External Affairs (D&ISA), Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT.

Ensure the import declaration includes all mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus with effect from 15 October 2023. Where the substance is also an NDPS-scheduled item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CWC compliance and CIB&RC permitting as mutually exclusive tracks rather than concurrent obligations. An importer who secures the CIB&RC permit but fails to notify the four prescribed authorities within 30 days of import — or who imports from a non-State Party to the CWC — faces a separate Category 1B chemical-controls contravention under the CWC Act and Rules, irrespective of the pesticide-registry status. The 30-day post-import notification window is a hard deadline; late submission is treated as a breach of ITC (HS) policy condition 3 of Chapter 29, attracting DGFT enforcement.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2922 18 00 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers oxygen-function amino compounds under this tariff line. Import is governed by Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee controls under the Insecticides Act, 1968, CWC Category 1B chemical controls under ITC (HS) policy condition 3 of Chapter 29, and NDPS Rules, 1985 conditions where the substance is scheduled.

Is the N,N-dimethyl or N,N-diethyl aminoethanol exemption available for this specific CTI?

The CWC Category 1B controls explicitly exempt N,N-dimethyl aminoethanol and N,N-diethyl aminoethanol and their protonated salts; 2-(N,N-Diisopropylamino)ethanol does not fall within those exemptions and remains subject to the full CWC import and post-import notification regime.

What happens if the consignment arrives at a port not notified under the Insecticides Rules?

Import of insecticides at non-notified ports is prohibited under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; a consignment routed through an un-notified port is liable to detention and confiscation, with the importer additionally exposed to prosecution under the Insecticides Act, 1968.
