India restricts glufosinate imports below Rs 1,154/kg
Importers and customs brokers of Glufosinate must meet price and registration checks
Change
India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade restricted imports of the herbicide Glufosinate and its salts for six months where the combined cost, insurance and freight (CIF) plus applicable anti-dumping duty per kilogram is below Rs 1,154 and made some product categories subject to government registration.
Why it matters
Shipments priced below the Rs 1,154/kg threshold will be ineligible for import clearance, creating an immediate compliance gate at ports. Mandatory government registration for certain product categories adds procedural clearance requirements and a year-long review window that raises sourcing and timing uncertainty for buyers.
Implications
- — Importers of Glufosinate and its salts — must verify before shipment presentation that each consignment's combined CIF plus applicable anti-dumping duty per kilogram equals or exceeds Rs 1,154 — shipments below that threshold will be refused import clearance immediately.
- — Customs brokers and clearance agents handling Glufosinate consignments — must obtain and submit required government registration certificates for the specified product categories at entry — consignments lacking registration risk detention or rejection at the border.
