A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as the sole gateway and overlooking the parallel NDPS Rules, 1985 overlay, which imposes an independent import certificate requirement under Rule 53 where the substance qualifies. A consignment cleared for CIB&RC purposes but lacking the Rule 53 certificate — or arriving at a port not notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 — will be detained and may be liable to seizure under both the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the NDPS Act, 1985.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2931 45 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this organo-inorganic compound. Import is governed by Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee registration and permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS Rules, 1985 overlay and ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29 administered by DGFT.

Which ports are permitted for import of insecticides under this tariff line?

Import locations are restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before placing the purchase order.

When does the NDPS import certificate requirement apply, and what if the substance is not listed?

Where the substance qualifies as an NDPS, an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required for medical or scientific purposes; imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I of the ITC (HS) Schedule. If the substance does not figure in the NDPS schedule or the Insecticides Act, 1968 Schedule, Appendix-II compliance under the ITC (HS) policy must still be confirmed before clearance.
