Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee for any substance falling in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. Import must be routed only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; import at non-notified ports is not permitted.
Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition, Chapter 29
2
If the substance falls under the NDPS overlay, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for imports permitted under Chapter VII-A for medical and scientific purposes. All other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.
Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29
3
Ensure the import declaration includes mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in Para 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, with effect from 15-10-2023. Upload all mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate (101dc1) and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is attempting to import phosphamidon in any form: the prohibition under S.O. 3951(E) dated 08-08-2018 is absolute — no CIB&RC permit, NDPS carve-out, or advance authorisation overrides it, and a consignment containing phosphamidon is liable to confiscation and prosecution. Importers of the fluoroacetamide or monocrotophos sub-streams must also confirm that their permitted port of entry is one notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 before vessel departure; diversion to an unnotified port constitutes a separate Insecticides Rules contravention independent of the CIB&RC registration status.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2924 12 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this product family. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and Insecticides Rules, 1971, with an NDPS Rules, 1985 overlay for scheduled narcotic or psychotropic substances.

Is the import of phosphamidon under this tariff line permitted with a CIB&RC import permit?

No. Import of phosphamidon is wholly prohibited under S.O. 3951(E) dated 08-08-2018 issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare; no permit, licence, or advance authorisation exempts a consignment from this prohibition.

What happens if a consignment under this CTI is subject to the NDPS overlay but does not qualify for the medical or scientific-purpose carve-out?

Imports outside the Chapter VII-A medical and scientific-purpose category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29; consignments that do not satisfy either pathway are liable to seizure and prosecution under the NDPS Act.
