Import is permitted only through ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; shipment to any other port attracts seizure.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming a single regulatory track applies: cyanuric acid and its salts may simultaneously trigger the CIB&RC insecticide-registration regime and the NDPS import-certificate requirement depending on the declared end-use and the substance's listing status. An importer who secures only the CIB&RC permit without evaluating NDPS applicability — or vice versa — faces detention at the notified port and potential confiscation under the respective Act. Confirm the substance's scheduling status under both regimes before the purchase order is placed.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2933 69 10 require BIS certification?

No. There is no BIS Quality Control Order covering cyanuric acid or its salts. Import is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with an NDPS import-certificate overlay under the NDPS Rules, 1985 where applicable.

Which ports are notified for import of insecticides under this tariff line?

Import of insecticides listed in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 is restricted to places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current notified-port list should be confirmed with the CIB&RC secretariat before booking shipment.

Does the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 apply to imports of hazardous substances under this CTI?

Yes. Where the consignment consists of specified hazardous substances exceeding the prescribed threshold quantities, the owner must obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, as detailed in S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
