DGFT CLEARANCE · CBIC CLEARANCE

HSN 2929 90 19 (Other compounds with other nitrogen function) is subject to Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) import policy under ITC (HS), with import classified as Free per DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025. Certain specific phosphoramidic dichloride compounds falling within this residual CTI are Category 1B chemicals under Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) import policy, restricting their import to State Parties of the Chemical Weapons Convention and requiring post-import notification to the National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention. Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) mandatory additional qualifiers under Chapter 29 apply at the bill-of-entry stage.

Compliance steps

1
If the consignment contains any Category 1B chemical listed in Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) import policy — specifically N,N-diethylphosphoramidic dichloride; N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidic dichloride; N,N-dipropylphosphoramidic dichloride; or N,N-dimethylphosphoramidic dichloride — verify that the exporting country is a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention before shipment. Import from a non-State-Party country is not permitted.

Within 30 days of import, notify the details of each consignment containing a Category 1B chemical to the National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention (Cabinet Secretariat, Ministry of External Affairs, D&ISA), the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT. Submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT within the same 30-day window.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this residual CTI is treating the Free import status as unconditional across all compounds falling within the 8-digit heading. The Category 1B chemical restriction in Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) policy imposes a country-of-origin gate — not merely a post-import reporting obligation — meaning a shipment from a non-CWC State Party is an unlawful import regardless of the Free general status, exposing the importer to confiscation and DGFT enforcement independently of the Chapter 29 qualifier requirement.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2929 90 19 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers compounds under this residual nitrogen-function heading. Import is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade under the ITC (HS) import policy, with a Category 1B Chemical Weapons Convention country-of-origin restriction for specified phosphoramidic dichloride compounds and CBIC Chapter 29 qualifier requirements at the bill of entry.

Which specific compounds within HSN 2929 90 19 are subject to the CWC State Party restriction?

Four compounds are listed as Category 1B in Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) import policy: N,N-diethylphosphoramidic dichloride; N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidic dichloride; N,N-dipropylphosphoramidic dichloride; and N,N-dimethylphosphoramidic dichloride. All other compounds in this residual CTI are Free without the CWC origin restriction.

What happens if the 30-day post-import notification to DGFT and the National Authority CWC is missed for a Category 1B consignment?

Failure to notify within 30 days of import constitutes a breach of the ITC (HS) import policy condition for Category 1B chemicals, attracting DGFT enforcement action including monetary penalty and possible suspension of import privileges for the consignee.
