A word of counsel

The dual-regime trap on this tariff line is the intersection of CIB&RC schedule-based applicability and the NDPS overlay: importers often confirm one clearance and overlook the other. CIB&RC registration is conditional on the substance appearing in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 — that schedule determination must be made before purchase, not at the port. Failure to produce either a valid CIB&RC permit or an NDPS import certificate, where each independently applies, results in consignment detention at the restricted-location port and may attract prosecution under the respective statute.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2924 21 10 require BIS certification?
No, diethyl diphenyl urea is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with an NDPS Rules, 1985 overlay where the substance is a notified narcotic or psychotropic substance.
Are there port restrictions on import of this substance?
Yes. Where the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, import is restricted to locations specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to an unrestricted port is an Insecticides Rules contravention.
When does the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 obligation arise for this consignment?
The obligation to take out an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 arises when the import quantity of the specified hazardous substance exceeds the threshold quantities prescribed under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
