Compliance steps

1
Obtain a Certificate of Registration or, where import is for a non-insecticidal purpose, an import permit from the CIB&RC under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968. The certificate specifies the approved source of import; consignments from any other source are not permitted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, and import is restricted to notified places of import.
Section 9, Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45, Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circular 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 · CBIC Circular 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a CIB&RC registration for insecticidal use covers import of the same substance for a non-insecticidal purpose, or vice versa. The two tracks are distinct: insecticidal use requires a Certificate of Registration specifying the source, while non-insecticidal use requires a separate import permit, and the CIB&RC may restrict both to named suppliers. Shipping from a source not named on the certificate or permit renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation regardless of whether the substance itself is otherwise compliant.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2932 20 30 require BIS certification?

No, lactones under Supplementary Note 10 to Chapter 29 are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is primarily governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with concurrent CDSCO, NDPS, and CBIC policy overlays where applicable.

Is import of these lactones restricted to specific ports or sources?

Yes on both counts. Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 restricts import to notified places of import, and the CIB&RC Certificate of Registration or import permit specifies the approved foreign source — import from any other source is not permitted even if the certificate is otherwise current.

When does NDPS policy apply to this tariff line?

Where the specific lactone is classified as a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance under the NDPS regime, policy conditions 2 and 3 of Chapter 29 apply concurrently with the CIB&RC or CDSCO requirements, and the NDPS import conditions must be satisfied independently before customs out-of-charge.
