Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry. Chlordimeform, if listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, may only be imported through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.
Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
2
Where the consignment is categorised under the NDPS overlay, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 before shipment. Imports other than for medical or scientific purposes under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule and must comply accordingly.

3
Ensure mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers are declared in the import declaration per CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 (effective 15-10-2023). Upload all mandatory e-Sanchit documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — before customs out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC registration as the sole clearance and overlooking the concurrent NDPS import-certificate requirement under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985. The two regimes operate independently: a valid CIB&RC permit does not discharge the NDPS obligation, and a consignment arriving without the Rule 53 import certificate is liable to detention and, in aggravated circumstances, prosecution under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.
