Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing parts, consumables, or spares of copying equipment covered under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. Upload the EPR authorisation in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage.
Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 · G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022
2
If the importing entity qualifies as a micro-enterprise under the MSME Development Act, 2006, retain documentary evidence of that status, as EPR authorisation is not required for micro-enterprises. Present this evidence at the bill of entry if customs queries the absence of an EPR document.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that EPR authorisation is a post-import compliance obligation rather than a pre-clearance requirement. An importer who files the bill of entry without a current CPCB EPR authorisation — and who cannot claim the micro-enterprise exemption — faces consignment detention at the port of import; there is no provision for provisional clearance pending EPR registration. Verify authorisation currency and scope before the shipment departs the exporting country.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8443 99 60 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories of copying equipment under sub-heading 8443 39. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's Extended Producer Responsibility framework under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, notified vide G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

Which categories of goods are covered by the EPR obligation under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 for this HSN?

Schedule I covers parts, consumables, and spares of copying equipment falling under sub-heading 8443 39; the EPR authorisation must reflect the specific product category being imported.

Does the EPR exemption for micro-enterprises apply automatically, or must it be declared at the bill of entry?

The exemption is not automatic — the importer must hold and be able to produce evidence of micro-enterprise status as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006, since customs may request this documentation when an EPR authorisation is absent.
