CIB&RC CLEARANCE · NDPS CLEARANCE

HSN 2922 21 30 (1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid) is subject to dual primary regulation: the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) requires registration and an import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, where the substance falls within the schedule to that Act. Imports of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances governed by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) regime require an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, with additional Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers mandated by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Circular 23/2023-Cus.

Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the specific substance falls within the schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If scheduled, obtain registration and an import permit from the secretariat of CIB&RC before the bill of entry is filed; the designated places of import are restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

2
Where the substance is imported for medical or scientific purposes under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 (refer cbn.nic.in for procedure). Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 to Chapter 29.

File the bill of entry with 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 import of a specified hazardous substance exceeds specified quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is failing to screen the substance against the schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 before shipment: a consignment arriving without CIB&RC registration and a port-specific import permit is detained at the restricted import point, and there is no provision for post-arrival regularisation. The NDPS overlay is a separate determination — a substance need not be a pesticide to attract NDPS import-certificate requirements — and importers who address one regime while overlooking the other face concurrent enforcement by two primary regulators.
