Other organo-sulphur compounds (residual category)
HSN 2930 90 39 (Other organo-sulphur compounds) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration and import-licence requirements under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, where the substance meets the definition of a drug or medical device. Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) mandatory registration under the Insecticides Act, 1968 applies concurrently where the compound is imported for insecticidal use, and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) conditions under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 govern listed medical devices. DGFT policy controls, CWC-schedule chemical reporting obligations, and CBIC Chapter 29 mandatory qualifier requirements apply as additional clearance requirements.
- Registration certificate from CDSCO
- Import licence from CDSCO
- Certificate of Analysis from CDSCO
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Where the organo-sulphur compound is a drug or listed medical device, obtain CDSCO registration and upload the registration certificate (document code 101dc1), import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc), certificate of analysis — drug (document code 0010dc), batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), and label of consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge. For compounds meeting the definition of a medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, confirm compliance with all MOHFW conditions stated therein.G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 (MOHFW) · Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 · document codes 101dc1, 9111dc, 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc
- 2Where the compound is ethrel-2-chloroethane phosphonic acid or any other listed insecticide under Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain CIB&RC registration or, for non-insecticidal use, a CIB&RC import permit. Import is restricted to ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, and no import is permitted from a source not named on the certificate of registration or permit.Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/11 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/14 dated 07-03-2014
- 3Where the substance is di-methyl amino ethanethiol hydrochloride or di-ethyl amino ethanethiol hydrochloride (Category 1B, CWC Schedule 2), import is permitted only from CWC State Parties; notify full consignment details to the National Authority Chemical Weapons Convention, Cabinet Secretariat (Ministry of External Affairs, D&ISA), the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT within 30 days of import, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT within the same window. Also ensure mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers are included in the import declaration per CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 with effect from 15-10-2023.Appendix II to Schedule I of the Import Policy (ITC HS) · DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025 · CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023
The most common error on this residual organo-sulphur tariff line is assuming that the DGFT 'Free' import status under DGFT Notification 44/2025-26 eliminates all PGA pre-clearances. 'Free' denotes only the ITC (HS) policy category; the CDSCO drug-registration, CIB&RC insecticide-registration, and CWC-schedule notification obligations are entirely independent and attach to the end-use classification of the specific compound, not to the tariff policy. A consignment cleared without the applicable PGA document codes uploaded in e-Sanchit will be detained for out-of-charge verification by the proper officer regardless of the 'Free' designation.
