Ltd. regulatory team **In short:** Industrial biocides such as DCOIT, IPBC and zinc pyrithione need a CIB&RC import permit when they are imported as in-can or dry-film preservatives, because their active ingredients are listed under the Insecticides Act. The application must identify the active, its concentration in any branded preparation, and the finished product it protects. ## Which biocides commonly need a permit? - 4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) - 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) - Zinc pyrithione and zinc omadine powder - Preventol, Troysan and Nipacide ranges, with their variants - Fungitrol, Polyphase, Glycacil and Sanitized D50 (containing diuron) - Dryshield CO paste (containing carbendazim) ## Why are branded preparations harder? A trade name tells the Committee nothing about composition. Form IA asks for the insecticide and its minimum purity, so for a branded preservative the file must state the active ingredient, its concentration and the carrier, backed by the supplier's MSDS. Each variant in a branded range can differ, so the permit wording must match the exact grade on your invoice. ## How do you describe the end use? Name the finished product and the function: an exterior emulsion protected against mould growth, a wood coating with dry-film protection, a leather finish, a sealant. Then give the dose rate. That percentage, applied to your production, is the basis for the quantity. ## Which documents are needed? - 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) - Self-certified affidavit supporting the quantity requested, and a declaration that the material is for your own use and not for sale - For domestic use: declaration certified by the jurisdictional Industrial Health & Safety office that the chemical will be stored separately - For export-linked use: foreign buyer details and advance licence, where applicable - Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) - Technical data sheet stating active ingredient and concentration The exact list depends on your product and business; we confirm it before filing. ## Quick facts Actives DCOIT, IPBC, ZnPT Users Paints, coatings Form Form IA Key detail Active % ## 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/) ## How is the application processed? - ### Confirm the chemical and route Check the substance against the Schedule, confirm the use is non-insecticidal, and decide between domestic-use and export-linked applications. - ### KYC on the CROP portal Register the applicant entity and complete Know Your Customer verification on the CIB&RC online portal. - ### Build the Form IA file Assemble capacity, consumption, licence, pollution-consent and affidavit evidence so every figure agrees. - ### File online and pay the government fee Submit Form IA with annexures and the prescribed government fee of ₹5,000.

It is imported under an import permit for non-insecticidal use. **Q: Our supplier renamed a biocide grade. Is our permit still valid?** The matter should be reviewed before the next shipment. Where the name on the invoice no longer corresponds to the permit, an amendment is required to prevent a customs query. **Q: Can one application cover several biocides?** Share the full list. We will advise how to structure the applications so each product and each source is properly covered. ## Sources and official references - Insecticides (Third Amendment) Rules, 2026, notified by G.S.R. 597(E) dated 8 July 2026, with the CIB&RC public notice dated 6 August 2026 (Gazette of India) (https://importpermit.in/documents/insecticides-third-amendment-rules-2026-gsr-597e.pdf) - Global Agriculture: India issues guidelines for import of insecticides for non-insecticidal and dual-use purposes (13 August 2026) - Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee, Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage - Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals: CIB&RC recommendation checklist for non-insecticidal use imports - CIB&RC checklist for customs on import of pesticides (reported 23 February 2022) Reviewed on 17 September 2026 by the regulatory team at Pransh Pesticides Advisory Private Limited, CIB&RC consultants since 2011.
