A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS tracks as mutually exclusive. Meta diethyl amino-phenol may simultaneously attract insecticide-registration obligations under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and an NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 depending on its end-use classification; failing to obtain both where both apply exposes the consignment to detention at the notified port of import. Additionally, the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 insurance obligation under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 is triggered when specified hazardous substances are imported in quantities exceeding the prescribed thresholds.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2922 29 14 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers oxygen-function amino-compounds under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and, where applicable, by the NDPS Rules, 1985 for narcotic or psychotropic substances.

Which ports or places are notified for the import of insecticides under this tariff line?

Places at which insecticides may be imported are restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current notified list must be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before arranging shipment, as routing through a non-notified port renders the consignment liable to detention.

Does the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 obligation apply to imports of this substance?

Yes, where Meta diethyl amino-phenol is a specified hazardous substance and the imported quantity exceeds the prescribed threshold, the owner must take out an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.
