Compliance steps
  1. 1
    Verify the consignment satisfies ITC (HS) policy conditions 1, 2, 4 and 7 of Chapter 38 before filing the bill of entry. DGFT Notification 45/2025-26 dated 15-10-2025 classifies import as Free subject to these conditions; non-compliance converts the import into an unauthorised restricted-policy breach.

  2. 2
    Route the consignment exclusively through ports notified for insecticide imports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. Arrival at an unnotified port renders the consignment liable to detention and seizure regardless of the validity of any accompanying documentation.

  3. 3
    Include the mandatory additional qualifiers in the import declaration for Chapter 3808 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 with effect from 15 October 2023. For formulation imports, ensure compliance with CBIC Circular 07/2014-Cus dated 07-03-2014 governing formulation-specific declaration requirements.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is filing the bill of entry at a general-purpose port without confirming it is notified for insecticide imports under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. A consignment of Thiram arriving at an unnotified port faces detention and demurrage while awaiting diversion, and the mandatory Chapter 3808 qualifiers under CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus must be populated in the import declaration at the time of filing — retrospective amendment after examination is not routinely permitted.
