Compliance steps

1
Determine which regulatory track applies to the specific substance: (a) if listed as a medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, obtain CDSCO registration and comply with all conditions stipulated therein before filing the bill of entry; (b) if a listed insecticide under Section 3(e) of the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain CIB&RC registration or — where imported for a non-insecticidal purpose — an import permit from the Registration Committee, noting that import is restricted to the source specified on the certificate or permit and to the ports permitted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.
G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 (MOHFW); Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968; Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
2
Comply with CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 by including mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 29 commodities with effect from 15-10-2023, as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2. If the substance is a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, ensure compliance with NDPS policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29.

Where the substance is a hazardous chemical imported in quantities exceeding the specified thresholds, take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by MOEF. For ozone-depleting substances, comply with policy conditions 1, 4 and 5 of Chapter 29 and the Ozone Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000; for waste streams, comply with Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 and General Note 8(b) of the ITC (HS) import policy.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing a bill of entry as though a single regulatory track applies when the substance's end-use determines which among CDSCO, CIB&RC, and NDPS controls are operative. A substance registered with CIB&RC as an insecticide but declared for a non-insecticidal industrial purpose still requires a separate import permit from the Registration Committee specifying that non-insecticidal use, and import from any source not named on the certificate or permit is an independent Insecticides Act violation regardless of the CIF value or quantity imported.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2930 90 92 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers organo-sulphur compounds under Supplementary Note 9 to Chapter 29. Import is governed by CDSCO registration under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 where a listed medical device is involved, and by CIB&RC registration or import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 where a listed insecticide is involved, with DGFT Notification 45/2025-26 policy condition 7 applying as the overarching import-policy overlay.

Can goods under this CTI be imported through any port?

No. Where the substance qualifies as a listed insecticide, import is restricted to ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, and import from any source not specified on the CIB&RC certificate of registration or import permit is prohibited regardless of port.

What happens if the substance is both a listed insecticide and a scheduled narcotic or psychotropic substance?

Both the CIB&RC and NDPS regimes apply concurrently — registration or permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968 and compliance with NDPS policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29 are each independently mandatory, and failure under either regime constitutes a separate contravention.
