Chemicals that require a CIBRC import permit
Products for which importers commonly obtain a CIB&RC permit for boric acid, non-boric acid and biocide imports for non-insecticidal use.
Does my chemical need a permit?
Search the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 by chemical name, IUPAC name or CAS number.

Documents for these products
- Applicant name and address, and the premises where the chemical will be stored or used
- Name of the chemical, its minimum purity and the source of import (overseas manufacturer or exporter)
- The product you manufacture with it, the function it performs and the percentage used
- Valid industrial licence, factory licence or other specified proof of the manufacturing facility
- Licensed and installed production capacity
- Pollution Control Board consent (Consent to Establish / Operate)
- Quantities imported and consumed in each of the last three financial years, with the final product made from them (a CA certificate is the usual evidence)
Questions about the list
Is this the complete list of scheduled insecticides?
No. It lists products for which CIB&RC commonly issues import permits for non-insecticidal use. The Schedule to the Insecticides Act is longer, so a chemical missing here may still need a permit.
Do branded preparations need a permit?
If they contain a scheduled active, generally yes. Ranges such as Preventol, Troysan and Nipacide include several variants, so check the exact grade.
Do small reference standard packs need a permit?
Not for unit packs of 5 grams or less of certified reference material or reference standards.
Have a chemical to clear?
Provide the chemical, the proposed quantity and the end use. We will confirm the applicable route and the Form IA document list.
