- 1Where the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment. Route the consignment only through the notified places of import specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes; all other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry out-of-charge.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 · CBIC e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
- 3Ensure the import declaration includes all mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, effective 15 October 2023. Where import of specified hazardous substances exceeds prescribed quantities, the owner must obtain 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 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The dual-regime trap most commonly encountered on this tariff line is filing under CIB&RC alone while overlooking that the same substance may independently trigger NDPS Rules, 1985 controls — the two regimes are not mutually exclusive, and an import that satisfies pesticide registration but lacks an NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 is detained at the port of entry. Separately, the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifier requirement under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus applies from 15 October 2023 regardless of PGA clearance status; a declaration filed without the prescribed qualifiers will be flagged for amendment, attracting demurrage.
