Compliance steps

1
Determine the end-use of the import before filing the bill of entry. If the substance is imported for insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, or rodenticidal use, obtain a Certificate of Registration or an Import Permit from CIB&RC under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968; import from any source other than that specified on the certificate is prohibited. If imported as a medical device or drug, comply with the CDSCO registration conditions under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

As a Category 1B Schedule-2 CWC chemical, ensure the country of origin is a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Within 30 days of import, notify the National Authority CWC Cabinet Secretariat (Ministry of External Affairs, D&ISA), the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT of consignment details, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CWC Schedule-2 notification obligation as a pre-clearance formality rather than a binding post-import reporting deadline. The 30-day window for notifying the National Authority CWC Cabinet Secretariat, the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT — and for submitting the bill of entry to DGFT — runs from the date of import, not from the date of out-of-charge; a missed deadline constitutes a standalone CWC-policy violation even where all other PGA clearances are in order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2922 19 13 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import of 2-Hydroxy N,N-Diisopropyl ethylamine is governed by CDSCO and MOHFW under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 for medical-device or drug applications, by CIB&RC under the Insecticides Act, 1968 for insecticidal-use imports, and by the CWC Schedule-2 notification regime administered through DGFT.

Can this chemical be imported from any country?

No. As a Category 1B Schedule-2 chemical under the Chemical Weapons Convention, import is permitted only from countries that are State Parties to the CWC; consignments originating from non-State-Party countries are not permitted entry regardless of other clearances.

Is a CIB&RC permit required even if the substance is not used as a pesticide?

Yes, where the substance is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, an import permit from CIB&RC is still required under the Insecticides Act, 1968; the permit spells out the permitted end-use and source, and import from any unspecified source attracts Insecticides Rules, 1971 enforcement.
