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 filing the bill of entry. Import is restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; routing to any other port renders the consignment liable to seizure.

2
Where the substance is a notified NDPS, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific use (Chapter VII-A). Imports outside the medical/scientific category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload all mandatory documents — certificate of analysis (0010dc), batch release certificate (0030dc), label of consignment (0110dc), registration certificate (101dc1), and import licence (9111dc) — in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

3
Ensure the import declaration includes mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, effective 15 October 2023. Where the consignment quantity of any specified hazardous substance exceeds prescribed thresholds, take out an 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 assuming that a single regulatory clearance — typically the CIB&RC permit — satisfies all pre-OOC requirements. This substance sits at the intersection of three distinct regimes: insecticides schedule clearance, NDPS import certification, and CBIC Chapter 29 qualifier obligations. Customs officers are instructed to verify every e-Sanchit document code independently; a consignment with a valid CIB&RC permit but missing batch release certificate (0030dc) or Chapter 29 qualifiers will be detained pending rectification, attracting demurrage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2933 19 60 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers this heterocyclic organic compound. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with concurrent NDPS Rules, 1985 conditions and DGFT ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.

Which ports are notified for import of substances under the Insecticides Act, 1968?

Permitted import locations are restricted under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the notified ports must be confirmed with CIB&RC before placing the purchase order, as consignments arriving at non-notified ports are subject to seizure.

What happens if this substance is imported for non-medical or non-scientific purposes and is a notified NDPS?

Imports outside the medical and scientific category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29, and non-compliance attracts enforcement under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, including seizure and criminal prosecution.
