India’s Import and export of Poppy Seeds (HS Code: 12079100) quantity, value and country-wise for the last three financial years and the current year is at Annex-I and Annex-II respectively.
Licences are issued to cultivators of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan every year for licit cultivation of opium poppy in the designated tracts. For this purpose, General Conditions of Licensing are notified every year by the Government.
Poppy seed is imported essentially to meet domestic demand. Further, import of poppy seed is subject to country restriction and can be imported only from 16 countries which are recognised as licit producers of poppy seeds. The importer shall have to produce an appropriate certificate from competent authority of the exporting country that poppy seeds have been grown legally in that country. Importers are required to compulsorily register their contracts with Central Bureau of Narcotics, Gwalior prior to import in accordance with guidelines issued by the Department of Revenue which may include fixing of country caps, imposing quantitative restriction, if any, per importer.
