Other compounds with nitrogen function, organic chemicals
HSN 2929 90 29 (Other compounds with nitrogen function) is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) import policy under ITC (HS) Schedule I, with import declared Free under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025. Where the consignment contains diethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidate, a Category 1B chemical under Appendix II to Schedule I of the ITC (HS) import policy, import is permitted only from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, with post-import notification obligations to the National Authority and DGFT. Mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers under Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Circular 23/2023-Cus apply at the bill-of-entry stage.

- 1Verify the general ITC (HS) status as Free under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025. Where the imported substance is diethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidate, confirm the exporting country is a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention before placing the purchase order, as import from non-State-Party origins is prohibited regardless of the Free policy status.DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025 · Appendix II to Schedule I of ITC (HS) Import Policy (Category 1B chemicals)
- 2File the bill of entry with the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15-10-2023. Non-submission of the required qualifiers renders the declaration incomplete and may result in consignment detention.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2
- 3Where the consignment contains diethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidate, submit post-import notification within 30 days of import to: (a) the National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention, Cabinet Secretariat, Ministry of External Affairs (D&ISA); (b) Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals; and (c) DGFT, attaching a copy of the bill of entry. For hazardous substances exceeding specified quantities, take out a public liability insurance policy under the PLI Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.Appendix II to Schedule I of ITC (HS) Import Policy (Category 1B) · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 (MoEF)
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the Free ITC (HS) status as eliminating all downstream obligations: where the substance is the Category 1B chemical diethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidate, the origin-country restriction and the 30-day post-import notification to three separate authorities are independent mandatory obligations that survive the Free policy classification. Failure to notify within 30 days of import is a direct breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention compliance framework, attracting enforcement by the National Authority irrespective of whether customs out-of-charge has already been obtained.
