HSN 3822 19 10 (Pregnancy test kit) is subject to import controls administered by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MEFCC) under the Office Memorandum dated 15 December 2023, which restricts import of high-end and high-value used or refurbished medical equipment.

- 2Where the pregnancy test kit is imported as used or refurbished equipment, confirm that all conditions prescribed in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change O.M. dated 15 December 2023 are satisfied before shipment. Import of such high-end, high-value used or refurbished medical equipment is Restricted and subject to those conditions.O.M. issued by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change dated 15-12-2023
The most common error on this tariff line is importing used or refurbished pregnancy test kits without verifying compliance against the MEFCC O.M. dated 15 December 2023, which imposes specific conditions on high-end, high-value second-hand medical equipment. New units require only the three e-Sanchit documents, but a misclassification of device condition — treating a refurbished kit as new — can result in consignment detention and restricted-import enforcement at the bill of entry stage.
