Sterile laminaria tents, haemostatics, and surgical adhesion barriers

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

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.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

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.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3006 10 20 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Sterile surgical catgut, suture materials, and tissue adhesives classified under the sibling subheading within Chapter 30 may attract import licensing requirements under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act administered at the central drugs authority level.
