Dated the 1 January, 2015
Subject: Amendment in import policy conditions under ITC (HS) 4 digit
code 3808.
S.O. (E): In exercise of powers conferred by Section 3 of FT (D&R) Act, 1992,
read with paragraph 1.3 and 2.1 of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2009-2014, the
Central Government hereby inserts the following Policy condition as Policy
Condition no. 3 under Chapter 38 of ITC (HS), 2012 – Schedule – 1 (Import
Policy):
“3. Under Section [9] of the Insecticides Act, 1968 all chemicals intended to be
used as insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides etc. [referred to as
‘insecticides’ under the Act] require mandatory registration for import. In
cases, where the ‘insecticide’ is imported for non-insecticidal purpose, an
import permit is necessary from the Registration Committee under the Department
of Agriculture and Cooperation. The Registration Committee while granting
registration or a permit for import of an insecticide spells out the conditions
for import which inter alia, may include reference to the source of import. No
‘insecticide’ can be imported from a source other than that specified on the
certificate of registration or the permit, as the case may be. In addition, the
Registration Committee may issue regulatory guidelines from time to time with
respect to safety, efficacy, quality etc. which warrant full compliance from
importers.”
2. Effect of this Notification: The policy provisions under the Insecticides
Act, 1968 for import of insecticides under EXIM code 3808 of Chapter 38 in ITC
(HS), 2012 – Schedule – I (Import Policy) are being notified.
