A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as the sole gate and overlooking the NDPS import-certificate requirement, which operates independently. A consignment cleared under a valid CIB&RC permit but lacking the Rule 53 NDPS import certificate remains non-compliant and is liable to detention; the two regimes are not substitutes, and both must be resolved before the bill of entry is filed.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2922 29 22 require BIS certification?
No, this tariff line is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS import-certificate requirement under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, and ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29 administered by DGFT.
Are all ports open for import of this substance under the Insecticides Act, 1968?
No. Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 restricts import of insecticides to notified places only; the bill of lading must name a notified port, and a consignment routed through an unnotified port is liable to seizure.
Does the public liability insurance requirement apply to imports of this substance?
Where the import exceeds the specified quantities of hazardous substances, 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.
