Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the amino-compound falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If so, obtain registration and an import permit from the secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee, and confirm that the consignment is routed through a port notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

Where the substance is a scheduled psychoactive amino-compound (including PMA, DMA, DOET, TMA, PMMA, 2C-B, 25B-NBOMe, 25C-NBOMe, 25I-NBOMe, DOB, STP, DOM), obtain an NDPS import certificate under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific use, or confirm permissibility under Appendix-I and ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29. 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 filing the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual tariff line is importing under the assumption that neither the Insecticides Act nor the NDPS regime applies because the product is described only as an 'other' amino-compound. The CIB&RC and NDPS triggers are substance-specific, not description-specific: customs officers cross-check the declared chemical name against the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the NDPS controlled-substance list, and a mismatch between the declared identity and the scheduled substance name is treated as a misdeclaration, exposing the consignment to seizure and the importer to prosecution independently of any licence deficiency.
