Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the specific compound 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, and route the consignment only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

2
If the compound is a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance listed under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before shipment. Imports outside the medical and scientific-purpose category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule and require DGFT authorisation.

Upload mandatory e-Sanchit documents — certificate of analysis for drugs (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — before out-of-charge, and ensure Chapter 29 mandatory additional qualifiers are included in the import declaration per CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus with effect from 15 October 2023.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry without first resolving whether the specific compound triggers the CIB&RC scheduled-pesticide regime, the NDPS controlled-substance regime, or both. The two PGA regimes are independent: a compound may require a CIB&RC import permit for its insecticidal use classification and simultaneously require an NDPS import certificate for its psychoactive constituent — omitting either PGA clearance results in consignment detention at the designated port pending NOC, with accruing demurrage and potential seizure under the respective Act.
