Compliance steps

1
Obtain EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board covering the import of dishwashers listed under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The authorisation must be current and available at the bill-of-entry stage; absence triggers detention of the consignment pending regularisation.

2
If the importing entity qualifies as a micro-enterprise under the MSME Development Act, 2006, retain documentary proof of that status to claim the EPR exemption. Present the Udyam registration certificate confirming micro-enterprise classification at the time of customs examination.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming the EPR obligation attaches only to domestic manufacturers and overlooks importers. An importer bringing in dishwashers under HSN 8422 19 00 is a producer under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and must hold CPCB EPR authorisation in its own name; a manufacturer's EPR authorisation issued to the foreign supplier does not satisfy the Indian importer's independent obligation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8422 19 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation regime 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 dishwashers under this HSN?

It applies to all importers except those qualifying as micro-enterprises under the MSME Development Act, 2006; such entities are explicitly carved out from the EPR obligation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.

What happens if an importer lacks EPR authorisation at the time of import?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of entry pending regularisation; continued non-compliance with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 can attract monetary penalty and prosecution under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
