Compliance steps

1
Obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before shipment. Verify that the port of import is a notified place for insecticide imports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; consignments arriving at non-notified ports are liable to seizure.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC registration as the sole pre-import requirement and overlooking the NDPS overlay: where Oxyclozanide or a co-shipped substance is captured under the NDPS framework, a separate import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 is required before the consignment may lawfully enter, and ITC (HS) Appendix I conditions govern any non-medical-or-scientific-purpose import. Importers who clear CIB&RC and CBIC Chapter 29 qualifiers but fail to resolve the NDPS certificate face consignment detention pending documentary cure.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 2942 00 33 require BIS certification?

No. No BIS Quality Control Order covers this organic chemical. Import of Oxyclozanide is governed by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee under the Insecticides Act, 1968, with NDPS Rules, 1985 and DGFT ITC (HS) policy condition 2 of Chapter 29 as concurrent overlays.

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

Import of insecticides is restricted to notified places specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971; the current notified list should be confirmed with CIB&RC before the purchase order is placed, as arrival at a non-notified port renders the consignment liable to detention.

Does the public liability insurance requirement apply to imports of Oxyclozanide?

Where the import of a specified hazardous substance exceeds the prescribed threshold quantity, the owner is required to obtain an insurance policy under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, per S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
