A word of counsel

The dual-regime trap on this tariff line is acute: CIB&RC registration addresses the insecticide-schedule status of the substance, but a separate determination must be made on whether the same compound is scheduled under the NDPS framework — and that assessment must be completed before the purchase order is placed, not at the port gate. Importers who secure CIB&RC clearance and overlook the NDPS import-certificate requirement face consignment detention and potential prosecution under the NDPS Act; the two clearances are independent and neither substitutes for the other.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2924 21 30 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers parachloro benzene sulphonyl urea or this product family. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS overlay where the substance is scheduled under the NDPS Rules, 1985.

Are there port restrictions on the import of insecticides under this tariff line?

Yes. Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 restricts import of insecticides to notified places of import; the bill of lading must designate one of these notified ports, and diversion to an unlisted port exposes the consignment to seizure.

When does the Public Liability Insurance obligation apply to this import?

The obligation arises when the quantity imported exceeds the specified threshold for hazardous substances under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991; the importer must take out an insurance policy as required by S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
