Compliance steps

1
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing industrial fans and blowers that fall under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The authorisation must be current and available for verification at the bill-of-entry stage.

2
If claiming the micro-enterprise exemption from EPR, furnish documentary evidence of registration as a micro-enterprise under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. Absence of valid micro-enterprise status means the EPR authorisation obligation applies in full.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that EPR authorisation is a post-import compliance matter rather than a pre-import clearance requirement. Customs may verify EPR authorisation status at the bill-of-entry stage, and a consignment presented without a current CPCB EPR authorisation — or without valid micro-enterprise documentation to claim the exemption — is liable to detention pending regularisation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 59 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers industrial fans and blowers under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation requirement under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, notified vide G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers of industrial fans and blowers?

No. The EPR obligation does not apply to micro-enterprises as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006; all other importers must hold a current CPCB EPR authorisation before import.

What is the consequence of importing without a valid CPCB EPR authorisation?

Importation without a current EPR authorisation constitutes a violation of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and exposes the consignment to detention at the port of import and the importer to monetary penalty under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
