Methyl anthranilate
Methyl anthranilate, amino-compound with oxygen function
HSN 2922 50 12 (Methyl anthranilate) 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. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import-certificate conditions under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 apply concurrently, with ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 governing the import category and mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers required under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus.

- 1Confirm whether methyl anthranilate figures in 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. Import is also restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 — verify the permitted port of entry before booking the shipment.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2If the consignment qualifies as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes per Chapter VII-A; imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory e-Sanchit documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — before out-of-charge.Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Include mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus for commodities under Chapters 28, 29, 32, 39 and CTH 3808, operative from 15 October 2023. Where the import quantity exceeds thresholds specified under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, take out an insurance policy as required by 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 most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry without first confirming the dual-track exposure: if the substance is listed in the Insecticides Act Schedule, the CIB&RC permit and a notified port under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 are prerequisites — and these are independent of any NDPS import certificate obligation. Importers who resolve the NDPS documentation correctly but ignore the CIB&RC port restriction face consignment detention and ground rent at the port of arrival, because the two regimes run in parallel and neither clearance substitutes for the other.
