Rules in IndiaOK
- Not on the Indian banned-pesticide, drug-precursor, narcotic, psychotropic or new-drug lists we check.
- Normal factory, storage and GST rules still apply.
Exporting from IndiaOK
- Not on the SCOMET export-control list or the precursor export list.
- The buyer’s country may still have its own import rules.
Global treaties & export marketsOK
- Not listed by the Stockholm Convention (persistent pollutants), the Rotterdam Convention (prior consent before export) or the Montreal Protocol (ozone layer).
- No EU REACH registration found: an EU importer (or your only representative) must register it before importing a tonne or more a year. Medicines and pesticide actives follow their own EU rules.
- Active on the US TSCA Inventory, so it can be imported into the US without a new-chemical notice.
- Listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AICIS), so it can be introduced into Australia as an existing industrial chemical.
Import dutyOK
- About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
- The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2933 39 99, so its HS subheading is 2933 39.
- India splits subheading 2933 39 into 13 lines: 2933 39 11 (Derivatives of pyridine › Amino pyridine); 2933 39 12 (Derivatives of pyridine › Alpha picoline (2-methyl pyridine)); 2933 39 13 (Derivatives of pyridine › Gamma picoline (4-methyl pyridine)); 2933 39 14 (Derivatives of pyridine › Chloropheniramine maleate); 2933 39 15 (Derivatives of pyridine › Diphenoxylate hydrochloride); 2933 39 16 (Derivatives of pyridine › Beta picoline (3-methyl pyridine)); and 7 more.
- Basic customs duty 7.5% on every one of them; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- Lines that name a chemical are for that chemical; one that no line names goes under "Other" (2933 39 29, 2933 39 90).
- Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.
