3-carboxy (para sulpho-phenyl)-5-pyrazolone, heterocyclic nitrogen compound
HSN 2933 19 10 (3-carboxy (para sulpho-phenyl)-5-pyrazolone) 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, with imports restricted to notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) import certificate requirements under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 apply concurrently, and the tariff line carries mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023.

Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Confirm whether the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968; if so, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment. Imports of scheduled insecticides are restricted to notified places under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 — consignments routed to non-notified ports are liable to detention.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition applicable to Chapter 29
- 2Where the substance qualifies as an NDPS item, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific use (Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985). Imports outside this category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 to Chapter 29. 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.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition no. 2 to Chapter 29 · CBIC e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
- 3Ensure the bill of entry includes the mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in Paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, operative from 15 October 2023. Where the consignment quantity of a specified hazardous substance exceeds the prescribed threshold, the owner must obtain a public liability 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 failing to assess the dual-regime status of the substance before filing: the insecticide-schedule determination (CIB&RC) and the NDPS classification are independent triggers, and a consignment may attract both simultaneously. Importers who secure the NDPS import certificate but omit the CIB&RC registration and permit — or vice versa — face detention and potential confiscation at the notified port; neither clearance substitutes for the other, and the port-restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 applies regardless of NDPS compliance.
