Compliance steps

1
Identify whether the specific substance (including spirodiclofen or warfarin) is listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If listed, obtain CIB&RC registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before shipment, and ensure the consignment arrives only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.
Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
2
Where the substance is an NDPS-scheduled compound, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for imports under the special provision for medical and scientific purposes (Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985); all other NDPS imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

Ensure mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers are included in the import declaration per paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, effective 15 October 2023.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC and NDPS obligations are mutually exclusive — a single substance can independently trigger both the Insecticides Act, 1968 registration requirement and the NDPS Rules import-certificate requirement, meaning clearance under one regime does not discharge the other. Importers of scheduled pesticides further overlook that the permitted port list under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 is distinct from general ports of entry, and a consignment routed to a non-notified port faces seizure regardless of the validity of the CIB&RC registration.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2932 20 90 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers other lactones under this tariff line. Import is instead governed by Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with an NDPS import-certificate overlay under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 where the substance is scheduled.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for drug-category substances under this CTI?

The mandatory uploads are certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate for drugs (101dc1), and import licence for drugs (9111dc); all must be present in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge.

When do the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus apply to this HSN?

The additional qualifiers are mandatory for all import declarations for commodities under Chapter 29, effective 15 October 2023, as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30 September 2023; omission triggers a deficient-declaration flag at the bill-of-entry stage.
