Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Confirm 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.

  2. 2
    Where 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.

    Ensure 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.

A word of counsel

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.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 2933 19 10 require BIS certification?
No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this heterocyclic nitrogen compound. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968 where the substance is scheduled, and by NDPS Rules, 1985 where the substance qualifies as a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance.
Which documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?
The mandatory documents 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 to be uploaded before customs out-of-charge.
What happens if the imported quantity of a hazardous substance exceeds the specified threshold?
The owner is required to take out a public liability insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, as notified by S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 by the Ministry of Environment and Forests; non-compliance constitutes a separate regulatory contravention independent of import-clearance requirements.
