Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment, if the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; import at non-notified ports is a contravention of the Rules.

2
If importing N-acetyl anthranilic acid for medical or scientific purposes under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before filing the bill of entry. Imports outside the medical/scientific category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule; upload the 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 out-of-charge.

Ensure the import declaration includes the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023. Declarations filed without the prescribed qualifiers are liable to rejection or detention at the customs system level. Additionally, if the consignment exceeds the specified quantities of hazardous substances, obtain a public liability insurance policy under the provisions of the PLI Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.

A word of counsel

The dual-track PGA structure of this tariff line is the most frequent source of customs detention: importers who secure only the CIB&RC permit neglect the independent NDPS import certificate required under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 when the substance is being imported for medical or scientific purposes, while importers relying solely on the NDPS certificate overlook the CIB&RC registration obligation where the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Both clearances must be in place before vessel departure, and neither substitutes for the other at the bill-of-entry stage.
