Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the specific substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If so, obtain registration and an import permit from the secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment, and route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

2
If the substance is a controlled NDPS substance — including APAA and its optical isomers — import is prohibited except under a Narcotics Commissioner NOC. For medical or scientific purposes, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985; all other imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under policy condition 2 of Chapter 29. Note that carbaryl is completely banned under S.O. 3951(E) dated 08-08-2018 and may not be imported under any condition.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a single-track bill of entry without first establishing which regulatory regime — CIB&RC, NDPS, or both — actually governs the specific substance being imported. A substance such as APAA triggers the NDPS absolute-prohibition rule and requires the Narcotics Commissioner NOC; the CIB&RC permit alone does not satisfy customs out-of-charge. Additionally, importers of substances falling under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 overlay (S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992) who exceed specified quantities risk consignment detention for failure to produce an insurance policy at the port.
