HSN 3506 99 99 (Other prepared adhesives) is governed by the import policy administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) under the Customs Act, 1962, as the sole applicable regulatory authority at the bill-of-entry stage. No additional sectoral PGA licence or permit is mandated for this residual tariff line, and the import policy status is Free.

- 1Verify that the goods are correctly classified under HSN 3506 99 99 and do not belong to a more specific tariff item before filing the bill of entry. CBIC Circular 28/2013 dated 01-08-2013 confirms that cockroach traps and mosquito repellents merit classification under Tariff Item 3808 91 99 and must not be imported under this residual adhesive heading.CBIC Circular 28/2013 dated 01-08-2013
- 2File the bill of entry with standard commercial documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or airway bill.

The single most common error on this residual line is misclassifying pest-control adhesive products — cockroach glue traps and adhesive mosquito boards — under 3506 99 99 to avoid the insecticide and pesticide oversight that applies under heading 3808. CBIC Circular 28/2013 explicitly redirects such products to Tariff Item 3808 91 99, which attracts Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) obligations; consignments cleared under 3506 99 99 are liable to reclassification, short-payment demand, and potential seizure.
