India restricts Glufosinate herbicide imports with Rs 1,154/kg landing-cost floor
Agrichemical importers must meet Rs 1,154/kg cost-plus-duty floor or face blocked shipments
Change
India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade has limited imports of the herbicide Glufosinate and its salts for six months, blocking consignments whose combined cost, insurance and freight plus applicable anti‑dumping duty is under Rs 1,154 per kilogram and requiring government registration for select product categories.
Why it matters
Low‑priced consignments will be rendered ineligible for routine import clearance, creating an immediate compliance barrier for procurement and customs operations. For specified product lines, suppliers must obtain government registration before shipments will be processed for entry.
Implications
- — Agrichemical procurement teams at pesticide formulators and distributors — must ensure incoming Glufosinate shipments declare cost, insurance and freight plus anti‑dumping duty at or above Rs 1,154 per kilogram immediately — consignments below the floor will be subject to import restriction and will not be accepted while the measure is in force.
- — Customs brokers and clearing agents handling agrichemical consignments — must flag and withhold clearance for any Glufosinate shipments with declared landed costs below the Rs 1,154/kg threshold now — failure to do so risks blocked shipments and clearance delays during the six‑month restriction.
