A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating the three mandatory e-Sanchit documents as interchangeable or optional when the consignment has not been actively routed through the PGA for an NOC. Where PGA facilitation is absent, the proper officer is required to independently verify all three document codes — 0010dc, 0030dc, and 0110dc — before out-of-charge; a missing upload of any single document will result in consignment detention and accumulating demurrage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 3822 19 90 require BIS certification?

No, this residual diagnostic and laboratory reagent tariff line is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change under the O.M. dated 15 December 2023, with mandatory e-Sanchit document uploads as the operative customs requirement.

Which document codes must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

Three documents are mandatory: Certificate of Analysis (0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (0030dc), and Consignment Label (0110dc). All three must be present in e-Sanchit before the proper officer grants out-of-charge.

Does the MEFCC restriction on used or refurbished equipment apply to all goods under this HSN?

No. The restriction under the MEFCC O.M. dated 15 December 2023 applies specifically to high-end, high-value used or refurbished medical equipment; critical care medical equipment is excluded from that restricted category, and standard new diagnostic reagents are subject only to the mandatory document conditions.
