A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC clearance as the only gateway and overlooking the port-of-entry restriction under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. A consignment carrying a current CIB&RC import permit but arriving at an unnotified port faces detention, re-export, and potential confiscation under the Insecticides Act, 1968 regardless of permit validity. Additionally, where the quantity of hazardous substance exceeds specified thresholds under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992, a Public Liability Insurance policy under the PLI Act, 1991 is mandatory before clearance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2935 50 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers perfluorooctane sulphonamides or insecticide active ingredients.

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

Import is restricted to ports notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current list should be confirmed with CIB&RC before vessel departure, as arrival at an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation.

The import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required only if Flubendiamide or its derivative falls within the NDPS schedule; imports for medical and scientific purposes are routed through Chapter VII-A of the NDPS Rules, while all other imports are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule under policy condition 2 of Chapter 29.
