HSN 2924 19 90 (Other acyclic amides and carboxyamide-function compounds) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 where the goods qualify as listed medical devices, and to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) mandatory registration or import permit under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 where the goods are covered by Supplementary Note 4 of Chapter 29. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29 apply where relevant, and the import is otherwise Free under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025.

- 1Determine the regulatory track applicable to your specific chemical: if the goods are a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, obtain CDSCO registration before the bill of entry. If the goods are listed insecticides under Supplementary Note 4 of Chapter 29, obtain CIB&RC registration or, for non-insecticidal use, an import permit from the Registration Committee under the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation.G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 (MOHFW) · Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 · Finance Bill 2025 w.e.f. 01-05-2025 · Policy condition 7 of Chapter 29
- 2File the bill of entry with 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, effective 15 October 2023. Ensure the declared source of import matches the source specified on the CIB&RC certificate of registration or import permit; import from any other source constitutes a violation under the Insecticides Act, 1968.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
- 3Where the goods are narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances covered under Chapter 29, comply with policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29. If the goods are specified hazardous substances imported in quantities exceeding the thresholds, take out a Public Liability Insurance policy under the PLI Act, 1991, per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.ITC (HS) Chapter 29 policy conditions 2 and 3 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 (MOEF) · DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025
The most common error on this tariff line is applying the blanket 'Free' import status from DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 without first verifying whether the specific chemical falls within Supplementary Note 4 of Chapter 29 (insecticides) or the G.S.R. 102(E) medical-device schedule — both of which impose mandatory PGA registration irrespective of the general ITC policy status. A consignment arriving without the applicable CIB&RC or CDSCO credential is liable to detention at the port of import, and importing insecticides from a source not specified on the registration certificate or permit constitutes a separate statutory offence under the Insecticides Act, 1968.
