Compliance steps

1
If the substance figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain a valid registration certificate and import permit from the secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry. Ensure the consignment is routed only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, as import at non-notified locations is not permitted.

2
Where the substance is classified as an NDPS substance, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for imports for medical and scientific purposes under Chapter VII-A. Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I of the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload 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 failing to determine at the pre-shipment stage whether the substance falls within the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 and simultaneously within the NDPS framework — the two regimes impose independent licensing obligations, and satisfying one does not discharge the other. An importer who secures the CIB&RC permit but omits the NDPS import certificate under Rule 53 faces detention and potential seizure at the notified port of entry, with no rectification window after the vessel berths.
