Benzene acetic acid, alpha -hydroxy-alpha-phenyl, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2.]oct- 3-yl ester
Clidinium or quinuclidinyl benzilate, heterocyclic nitrogen compound
HSN 2933 39 40 (benzeneacetic acid, alpha-hydroxy-alpha-phenyl, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2.]oct-3-yl ester) is subject to dual primary regulation: the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) under the Insecticides Act, 1968 for any pesticide-scheduled use, and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) regime under Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985. Additionally, this substance is classified as a Category 1B chemical under the Chemical Weapons Convention, restricting import to State Parties of the CWC with mandatory post-import notifications to multiple national authorities.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- Import certificate from NDPS
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Verify whether the substance, as imported, figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If scheduled, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of CIB&RC before shipment, and import only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Upload the registration certificate (document code 101dc1) and import licence for drugs (document code 9111dc) in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition, Chapter 29
- 2If the consignment falls under the NDPS regime, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical or scientific purposes. Alternatively, confirm applicability of Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule for imports outside that category. Upload the certificate of analysis (document code 0010dc), batch release certificate (document code 0030dc), and label of consignment (document code 0110dc) in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 3As a Category 1B CWC chemical, import is permitted only from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Within 30 days of each import, notify the National Authority CWC (Cabinet Secretariat), Ministry of External Affairs (D&ISA), Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT, and submit a copy of the bill of entry to DGFT. Comply with mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers in the import declaration under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 with effect from 15-10-2023.CWC Act and Rules · ITC (HS) policy condition 3 of Chapter 29 · CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 (para 4.1 and 4.2)
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CWC Category 1B post-import notification as an administrative formality rather than a hard legal obligation: the 30-day window for notifying the National Authority CWC, MEA (D&ISA), the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, and DGFT runs from the date of import, not from the date of out-of-charge, and a missed notification constitutes a separate CWC Rules contravention independent of any customs compliance failure. Importers should also confirm whether the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 insurance obligation under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 is triggered by the quantity imported.
