HSN 2931 43 00 (Diethyl ethylphosphonate) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act; import is restricted to notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) conditions and Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Appendix-II ITC (HS) policy compliance apply as additional clearance requirements, together with mandatory Chapter 29 qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus.

- 1Verify whether Diethyl ethylphosphonate figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it does, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee, and route the consignment only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Check whether the consignment triggers NDPS conditions under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29. If it qualifies as an NDPS substance for medical or scientific purposes, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985; other NDPS-classified imports are governed by Appendix-I of the ITC (HS) Schedule.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29
- 3Ensure compliance with Appendix-II of the ITC (HS) import policy before clearance, and include all mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, applicable to Chapter 29 commodities with effect from 15-10-2023. Where the quantity of specified hazardous substances exceeds the specified threshold, obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC and NDPS tracks as mutually exclusive: a single consignment of Diethyl ethylphosphonate can simultaneously attract insecticide-schedule registration requirements, NDPS import-certificate conditions, and Appendix-II ITC (HS) policy controls. Importers who clear only one regulatory track and overlook the others risk detention, seizure, and parallel enforcement actions under both the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the NDPS Act, 1985. Confirm applicability of each track against the consignment's end-use and concentration before the bill of entry is filed.
