Sterile laminaria and sterile laminaria tents, sterile absorbable surgical or dental haemostatics, sterile surgical or dental adhesion barriers, whether or not absorbable
Sterile laminaria tents, haemostatics, and surgical adhesion barriers
HSN 3006 10 20 (sterile laminaria and sterile laminaria tents, sterile absorbable surgical or dental haemostatics, and sterile surgical or dental adhesion barriers) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other pharmaceutical goods classified under Chapter 30 — particularly sterile suture materials, tissue adhesives, and finished drug formulations — may carry Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation import licensing requirements under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
Chapter 30 is a chapter under active regulatory scrutiny: products that are functionally similar to, or combinable with, regulated medical devices or drug-delivery systems are periodically brought under import licensing. A customs officer's re-classification of the goods — for instance, treating a sterile haemostatic as a medical device rather than a pharmaceutical good under Note 4 — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise product description, intended use, and sterility certification against the current customs tariff and the Medical Devices Rules before shipment.
