Other organic derivatives of hydrazine or hydroxylamine
HSN 2928 00 90 (Other organic derivatives of hydrazine or of hydroxylamine) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the specific substance falls within the Schedule to that Act. Import of NDPS-listed substances within this tariff line requires an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 governs remaining imports.
- Registration and permit from CIB&RC
- Import certificate from NDPS authority
- Chapter 29 qualifiers from CBIC
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Verify whether the specific substance being imported is scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it is, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before filing the bill of entry; import is restricted to ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance is listed under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985, covering medical or scientific purposes (Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules). Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule.Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3Ensure all import declarations include the mandatory additional qualifiers required for Chapter 29 commodities under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 (paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2), effective from 15 October 2023. Note that linuron is a completely banned substance under S.O. 3951(E) dated 08-08-2018 and cannot be imported under any conditions.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 3951(E) dated 08-08-2018
The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry without first determining whether the specific substance is scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968 or listed under the NDPS regime — the two regimes carry entirely different documentation chains and designated-port restrictions. A consignment arriving at an unspecified port under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, or without the Rule 53 NDPS import certificate, is liable to detention and confiscation even if the general Chapter 29 qualifiers are in order.
