A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the substance does not attract the Insecticides Act, 1968 registration requirement because its primary commercial identity is a UV absorber rather than a pesticide. Whether CIB&RC registration is triggered depends on whether the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act — that determination must be made before the purchase order is placed, not at the port, because the restricted-port limitation under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 applies at origin, and a consignment arriving at an unlisted port is subject to detention and confiscation.
