Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Verify whether the specific substance under this CTI figures in 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 before shipment, and route the consignment only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

  2. 2
    If the substance is a scheduled NDPS item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes under Chapter VII-A of those Rules. Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule.

    Ensure the import declaration includes all mandatory additional qualifiers stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus for commodities under Chapter 29, effective 15 October 2023. Non-compliance results in bill-of-entry rejection or detention at the port of import.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing without first confirming whether the specific substance appears in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 — the CIB&RC registration and permit obligation and the port restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 are triggered only if the substance is so listed, but customs officers will treat an undeclared scheduled substance as an unauthorised import, attracting seizure and monetary penalty. Where the substance carries a concurrent NDPS schedule entry, a separate Rule 53 import certificate is required in addition to any CIB&RC permit; one certificate does not substitute for the other.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2922 21 10 require BIS certification?
No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers aminohydroxynaphthalene sulphonic acids or their salts. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS overlay under the NDPS Rules, 1985 where the substance is scheduled.
Which ports or places are notified for import of insecticides under this tariff line?
Import of scheduled insecticides is restricted to places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before booking the shipment, as diversion to an unnotified port triggers seizure.
Does the Public Liability Insurance obligation apply to imports of Amino-g-acid?
Yes, where the substance qualifies as a specified hazardous substance imported in quantities exceeding the prescribed threshold, the owner must obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
