Ltd. regulatory team **In short:** A CIB NOC is a clarification or no-objection sought from CIB&RC where customs requires confirmation whether an imported product is covered by the Insecticides Act. It applies to products that are outside the Act or whose status is unclear; if the product is covered, an import permit or registration is needed instead. ## When does an NOC help? - A shipment is held because its description resembles a scheduled substance - A formulation contains a scheduled chemical in a form the importer believes falls outside the Act - A finished or treated article, such as a preserved product, is questioned at the port - A buyer or bank wants written confirmation of regulatory status ## What does customs check on a permit? According to CIB&RC's checklist for customs, officers check that the certificate or permit is valid on the date of import, that the material originates from the source named, and, where a supplier is named, that it has come through that supplier. A mismatch on any of these can hold a consignment even when a permit exists. ## What is the procedure where goods are already held? Send us the bill of entry, invoice, packing list, MSDS and any written query. We review them the same day and advise whether the fastest compliant route is a clarification, an amendment to an existing permit, or a fresh application. ## Which documents are needed? - Bill of entry and any customs query - Commercial invoice and packing list - MSDS and technical data sheet - Composition statement from the manufacturer - IEC and GST registration - Existing import permit, if any The exact list depends on your product and business; we confirm it before filing. ## Quick facts Trigger Customs query Authority CIB&RC We prepare Technical note Also covers Treated articles ## Talk to a consultant Provide the chemical and the intended end use for an assessment. +91 98717 89630 info@importpermit.in WhatsApp us ## Import permits - CIBRC Import Permit (https://importpermit.in/cibrc-import-permit/) - Non-Insecticidal Use Import Permit (https://importpermit.in/non-insecticidal-use-import-permit/) - Boric Acid Import Permit (https://importpermit.in/boric-acid-import-permit/) - Biocides Import Permit (https://importpermit.in/biocides-import-permit/) - CIB NOC & Port Holds (https://importpermit.in/cib-noc-consultant/) - Change of Source in Import Permit (https://importpermit.in/change-of-source-in-import-permit/) - Import Permit Validity & Renewal (https://importpermit.in/import-permit-validity-extension/) - RTT Permit (Research, Test, Trial) (https://importpermit.in/rtt-permit-research-test-trial/) ## Frequently asked questions **Q: Is a CIB NOC a substitute for an import permit?** No. Where the product is covered by the Insecticides Act, customs requires an import permit or registration certificate. An NOC is relevant only where the product is outside the Act or its status must be clarified. **Q: How fast can a held consignment be released?** That depends on the case and the authorities. We prepare the technical submission as soon as documents arrive, so the importer's side of the process is not the bottleneck. ## Sources and official references - CIB&RC checklist for customs on import of pesticides (reported 23 February 2022) - Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee, Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage - Insecticides Act, 1968 and Insecticides Rules, 1971 (India Code) Reviewed on 17 September 2026 by the regulatory team at Pransh Pesticides Advisory Private Limited, CIB&RC consultants since 2011.
