- 2Where the substance is classifiable under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes; other imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload all mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (drug) [0010dc], batch release certificate [0030dc], label of consignment [0110dc], registration certificate (drugs) [101dc1], and import licence for drugs [9111dc] — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29

Additionally, where import of specified hazardous substances exceeds stipulated quantities, take out an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, para 4.1 and 4.2 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The dual-regime trap on this tariff line is the most costly oversight: importers who obtain only the CIB&RC permit often fail to assess whether the substance simultaneously triggers NDPS Rules, 1985 controls, which require a separate import certificate under Rule 53 and carry criminal liability under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act for non-compliance. The CIB&RC and NDPS regimes are independent — satisfying one does not discharge the other, and both NOCs must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.
