Compliance steps

1
If the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment. Import is permitted only at ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; diversion to a non-specified port renders the consignment liable to seizure.

2
Where the substance constitutes a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance under the NDPS Rules, 1985, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes; all other 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.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that CIB&RC registration alone discharges all clearance obligations — the NDPS overlay is independent and operates concurrently where the substance meets the NDPS schedule criteria, requiring a separate Rule 53 import certificate from the Central Bureau of Narcotics. Additionally, the Chapter 29 mandatory qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus are frequently omitted from the import declaration, which triggers amendment or detention at the port of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2933 19 50 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this heterocyclic organic chemical. Import is governed by Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee registration and permit requirements under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with a concurrent NDPS overlay under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 where applicable.

Which ports are permitted for import of substances under this tariff line where the Insecticides Act applies?

Import of insecticides covered by the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 is restricted to specified places per Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC Secretariat before booking shipment.

What happens if the NDPS import certificate has expired at the time the bill of entry is filed?

An expired Rule 53 import certificate under the NDPS Rules, 1985 renders the import unauthorised under the NDPS framework; the consignment is liable to detention and, if not regularised, confiscation and criminal liability under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.
