N,N-Diethyl-2-aminoethanol and its protonated salts
HSN 2922 19 12 (N,N-Diethyl-2-aminoethanol and its protonated salts) is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) import policy under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025, which classifies import as Free subject to Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) source-country restrictions under Appendix II to Schedule I of the Import Policy. Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers and a Public Liability Insurance obligation under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 apply as additional clearance requirements.

The most frequent oversight on this tariff line is treating the Free import status as unconditional. The freedom-to-import is contingent on the exporting country being a CWC State Party, and failure to notify the four designated authorities — National Authority CWC, D&ISA, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT — within 30 days of each import constitutes a separate ITC (HS) policy breach, independent of whether the source-country condition was satisfied at the time of clearance.
