If the specific substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain a registration certificate and import permit from the secretariat of CIB&RC, and route the consignment only through the ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Upload all 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 a drugs-regime document set (certificate of analysis, batch release certificate, import licence for drugs) is sufficient without separately determining whether the substance is also scheduled under the Insecticides Act, 1968. A substance can simultaneously attract the NDPS import certificate requirement and the CIB&RC registration-and-permit requirement; presenting only one PGA clearance at the bill of entry results in detention and denial of out-of-charge until the second PGA's documentation is uploaded in e-Sanchit.
