- 1Verify whether D(-) phenyl glycin chloride HCL figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968. If it does, obtain registration and an import permit from the secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry, and route the consignment only through places notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29
- 2If the substance carries an NDPS-scheduled character, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 for medical and scientific purposes (Chapter VII-A). Imports outside that category are governed by Appendix-I to the ITC (HS) Schedule. Upload mandatory drug 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.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 · CBIC e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
- 3Ensure mandatory Chapter 29 additional qualifiers are declared in the import declaration as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus, applicable with effect from 15 October 2023. Non-compliance with the qualifier requirement triggers detention and prevents out-of-charge under the Customs Act, 1962.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2
The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a current NDPS import certificate and CIB&RC permit are sufficient without also satisfying the CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus Chapter 29 qualifier requirement. Customs officers verify the mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration independently of PGA NOC status; a bill of entry lacking compliant qualifiers will be detained at the port regardless of whether both PGA clearances are on file. Additionally, consignments routed to a place not notified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 are seized even where the CIB&RC permit is otherwise valid.
