2-Acetamidobenzoic acid (N-acetylanthranilic acid) and its salts
HSN 2924 23 00 (2-Acetamidobenzoic acid / N-acetylanthranilic acid and its salts) is subject to a consignment-wise NOC from the Narcotics Commissioner under the NDPS (Regulation of Controlled Substances) Order, 2013, administered by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) authority. Where the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, registration and import permit from the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) are additionally required, with import restricted to notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. DGFT Restricted-import policy and CBIC Chapter 29 mandatory qualifier requirements apply as further customs overlays.
- NOC from Narcotics Commissioner
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Obtain a consignment-wise NOC from the Narcotics Commissioner before filing the bill of entry, as N-acetylanthranilic acid is a controlled substance. The NOC must cover the specific consignment quantity and be uploaded in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.DGFT Notification 15/2015-20 dated 21-07-2015 · NDPS (Regulation of Controlled Substances) Order dated 26-03-2013
- 2If the consignment falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain a registration certificate and import permit from the secretariat of CIB&RC and ensure the consignment arrives only at a place notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Failure to hold both the registration and permit constitutes a violation of the Insecticides Act, 1968.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 3At the bill of entry, ensure mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers are declared in the import declaration per paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15 October 2023. Upload all mandatory e-Sanchit documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — before out-of-charge.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023
The most frequent error on this tariff line is treating the NDPS controlled-substance NOC and the CIB&RC insecticide permit as alternative requirements when both may apply simultaneously to the same consignment. The NDPS NOC obligation attaches to N-acetylanthranilic acid as a named controlled substance regardless of its end-use; the CIB&RC registration and permit obligation attaches independently if the substance is scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968. A consignment cleared under only one of these two regimes — without the other — is liable to seizure and may attract prosecution under the NDPS Act, 1985 or the Insecticides Act, 1968 respectively.
