Compliance steps

1
Where 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. Confirm that the port of import is one of the notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.

Where the substance is an NDPS-listed item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 from the Central Bureau of Narcotics before the bill of entry is filed. Imports outside the medical and scientific purposes category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a substance does not fall within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 simply because its primary commercial identity is a glutamic acid salt or amino-compound rather than a conventional pesticide. CIB&RC scope is determined by Schedule listing, not by commercial designation; an importer who ships without registration and permit faces consignment detention at the notified port and potential confiscation under the Insecticides Act — even where the NDPS and drug-document requirements are otherwise satisfied.
