Compliance steps

1
Where 2,5-dimethoxyaniline is scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment. Import is restricted to specified ports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation.

2
If the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes. All other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29; imports without a valid certificate attract criminal liability under the NDPS Act.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as the sole gatekeeping requirement and overlooking the independent NDPS import-certificate obligation, which operates as a parallel regime. A consignment cleared under a CIB&RC permit but lacking the Rule 53 NDPS import certificate is liable to seizure, monetary penalty, and criminal prosecution under the NDPS Act regardless of the pesticide-law compliance status. Confirm which schedule or appendix applies to the specific batch before the purchase order is placed.
