Other oxygen-function amino-compounds (residual category)
HSN 2922 49 90 covers residual oxygen-function amino-compounds and attracts multi-agency controls depending on end-use: the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) regime under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 applies where the substance is scheduled, while the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) Import Licence governs food-grade variants. Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit are mandatory where the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) policy overlays — including mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus — apply at the bill-of-entry stage.

- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Determine the applicable regulatory track before filing the bill of entry. If the substance is a scheduled narcotic or psychotropic substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes; imports outside that category are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29. If the substance appears in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC, and route the consignment only through ports permitted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Rule 53, Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Upload all applicable e-Sanchit documents before seeking out-of-charge: Certificate of Analysis – Drug (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), Label of Consignment (0110dc), Specimen Copy of Label (0110FS), Registration Certificate (Drugs) (101dc1), FSSAI Import Licence (911001), and Import Licence for Drugs (9111dc), as required by the regulatory track that applies. Food-grade consignments must also comply with General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of the ITC (HS) 2022 for designated food-import entry points.CBIC Instruction 09/2023-Cus dated 07-03-2023 · CBIC Instruction 10/2022-Cus dated 28-06-2022 · General Note 4(D) of Schedule I of ITC (HS) 2022
- 3Include mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for this Chapter 29 commodity in accordance with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, effective 15 October 2023, as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2. Where the substance is a hazardous chemical imported in quantities exceeding specified thresholds, the importer must also take out 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 single most common error on this tariff line is treating the residual 'Other' classification as though one regulatory track governs all consignments. Each shipment requires a substance-level determination — NDPS schedule check, Insecticides Act Schedule check, food-use determination — before the correct PGA clearance pathway is identified. Arriving at port with the wrong (or missing) clearance document results in consignment detention, demurrage, and a separate contravention under the relevant Act; the Chapter 29 CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus qualifier requirement applies independently of whichever PGA track is triggered.
