Compliance steps

1
Obtain EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board covering electric fan parts under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 before the bill of entry is filed. The authorisation must be current and uploaded in e-Sanchit at the time of customs clearance.
E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, Schedule I · G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022
2
If the importing entity is a micro enterprise as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, document the Udyam registration confirming micro-enterprise status. EPR authorisation does not apply to such entities, but the exemption must be supported by evidence at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is importing electric fan parts without an EPR authorisation on the basis that the goods are components rather than finished electrical and electronic equipment. Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 explicitly covers parts of equipment listed therein, and CPCB treats an absent or expired EPR authorisation as a violation attracting consignment detention and monetary penalty, irrespective of whether the importer is an OEM or a spare-parts trader.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8414 90 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts of electric fans under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, specifically the Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation requirement under Schedule I.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers of electric fan parts?

No. EPR authorisation is not required for micro enterprises as defined in the MSME Development Act, 2006; all other importers must hold a valid CPCB EPR authorisation before filing the bill of entry under G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

What happens if an importer's EPR authorisation has expired at the time of import?

An expired EPR authorisation has the same effect as an absent one — the consignment is liable to detention at the port, and clearance will not be granted until a current authorisation is produced or the micro-enterprise exemption is substantiated with Udyam registration documents.
