Sensitised unexposed X-ray film for medical use
HSN 3701 10 10 (sensitised unexposed X-ray film for medical use) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other photographic or imaging goods in Chapter 37, or medical imaging equipment classified under Chapter 90, may attract distinct compliance depending on end-use and form factor.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader category of medical imaging consumables or equipment: products classified under Chapter 90 as diagnostic apparatus, or film incorporated into a finished medical device, may attract separate regulatory requirements. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if the product is assessed as a finished medical device component rather than a bare photographic film — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the product specification, intended use, and physical form against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance here.
