Compliance steps

1
Obtain mandatory registration or an import permit from CIB&RC before shipment. Where fenazaquin is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, a specific import permit from the Registration Committee under the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is required; import from any source not named on the certificate of registration or permit is prohibited under the Insecticides Act.
Section 9 of the Insecticides Act · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · CBIC Circulars 35/2011 dated 09-08-2011 and 7/2014 dated 07-03-2014
2
Ensure the bill of entry includes all mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, effective 15-10-2023. Upload supporting documents in e-Sanchit prior to out-of-charge.

3
Where the consignment involves import of a hazardous substance exceeding specified quantities, the owner must obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991. Confirm also that the import is not subject to ozone-depleting-substance restrictions under the Ozone Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, and that waste-import conditions under Rules 12 and 13 of the Hazardous Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 are not triggered.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the CIB&RC certificate of registration as source-agnostic: the registration or permit specifies the approved country or manufacturer of origin, and diversion to an alternate supplier — even one of equivalent quality — renders the import unauthorised under the Insecticides Act, exposing the consignment to seizure and the importer to prosecution. Verify that the bill of lading origin matches the source named on the CIB&RC certificate before the vessel departs, and obtain a fresh permit for any new source before placing the purchase order.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2933 41 10 require BIS certification?

No, fenazaquin falls outside the BIS Quality Control Order regime; no BIS QCO covers this product family. Import is governed by mandatory registration with the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under Section 9 of the Insecticides Act, with concurrent CDSCO and MOHFW conditions applicable under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

Is import of fenazaquin for non-insecticidal use treated differently from insecticidal use?

Yes. Where fenazaquin is imported for a non-insecticidal purpose, a separate import permit from the Registration Committee under the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is required in lieu of the standard insecticide registration, and the permit conditions — including approved source — must be observed in full.

What happens if the consignment is shipped from a source not listed on the CIB&RC certificate or permit?

The import is treated as unauthorised under the Insecticides Act; the consignment is liable to seizure and the importer faces monetary penalty and prosecution, as confirmed by the Supreme Court order reported at 2002 (146) ELT 19 (SC).
