(3-((6-Chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene)cyanamide (CAS 111988-49-9): import duty, licences and trade rules in India
Thiacloprid is a nitrile that is cyanamide in which the hydrogens are replaced by a 1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene group which in turn is substituted by a (6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl group at the ring nitrogen. For trade in India: OK to trade, but watch: global treaties & export markets; food residue limits. Import duty is about 27.73% (tariff item 2934 (estimate)). EU CMR classification: Repr. 1B.

- Not on the US TSCA Inventory, which does not cover medicines or pesticides; those are regulated by the FDA and EPA (FIFRA).
- EU: harmonised classification as a reproductive toxicant category 1B (CLP Annex VI, index 613-325-00-3). It may not be sold to the general public in the EU as such or in mixtures above the limit (REACH Annex XVII, entries 28-30), and its use at work must be minimised.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- No tariff line names this chemical, so we worked out its likely heading from its structure: 2934, nucleic acids and other heterocyclic compounds (ring containing N and S).
- All lines under heading 2934 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- Confirm the exact 8-digit code with your customs broker before you import.
