Compliance steps

1
Determine the end-use classification of the goods against Supplementary Note 11 to Chapter 29 before filing the bill of entry. If the goods are listed medical devices under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, obtain CDSCO registration as a precondition to import. If the goods are listed insecticides under Section 3(e) of the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain CIB&RC registration under Section 9 of that Act; if imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, obtain an import permit from the Registration Committee.

Where the goods are specified hazardous substances imported in quantities exceeding the notified threshold, take out a public liability insurance policy under the provisions of the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Where the import involves ozone-depleting substances, comply with policy conditions 1, 4 and 5 of Chapter 29 and Para 8(a) of the General Notes, per the Ozone Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.

A word of counsel

The most prevalent error on this tariff line is importing under the 'free' ITC (HS) status on the assumption that no further PGA clearance is required, without determining the end-use classification against Supplementary Note 11. The Note's scope spans listed insecticides, medical devices, narcotic and psychotropic substances, and hazardous chemicals — each activating a distinct PGA regime with independent registration or permit requirements. A consignment cleared by DGFT policy condition 7 but lacking the requisite CIB&RC or CDSCO registration at the bill-of-entry stage is liable to detention, ground rent, and confiscation under the relevant Act.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2933 19 92 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers goods under this tariff line. Import is governed by CDSCO under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 for listed medical devices, by CIB&RC under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 for listed insecticides, and by NDPS policy conditions 2 and 3 for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

Can an insecticide under this HSN be imported for non-insecticidal purposes without CIB&RC registration?

Full registration under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 is not required for non-insecticidal use, but a specific import permit from the Registration Committee is still mandatory; no import may proceed from a source not specified on the registration certificate or permit, per Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.

What triggers the public liability insurance requirement for imports under this tariff line?

The obligation to take out a Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 policy arises when the imported goods are specified hazardous substances and the quantity imported exceeds the threshold prescribed under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
