HSN 2922 29 34 (Para cresidine) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act.

Compliance steps

1
Where para cresidine figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before shipment. Import is restricted to ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; consignments arriving at unspecified ports are liable to detention and seizure.

2
For imports under the NDPS overlay, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes; all other NDPS-governed imports must comply with Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory documents in e-Sanchit — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — before bill of entry out-of-charge.

3
Ensure 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. Declarations lacking the specified qualifiers will be rejected at the bill of entry stage. Where the quantity of hazardous substance imported exceeds the specified threshold, obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming CIB&RC registration alone satisfies all clearance requirements and overlooking the concurrent NDPS overlay. Where para cresidine is identified as an NDPS-scheduled substance, the import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 must be in hand before shipment — its absence is not a rectifiable defect at the port and results in consignment detention pending prosecution referral. The Chapter 29 mandatory qualifier requirement under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus is a separate, independently enforced customs obligation that applies regardless of whether the PGA clearances are complete.
