If claiming the micro-enterprise exemption from EPR, ensure the business holds a valid Udyam registration establishing micro-enterprise status as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, and present it to the proper officer at the bill of entry stage.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that EPR authorisation is a post-import registration formality rather than a pre-clearance condition. An importer without a current CPCB EPR authorisation — and without qualifying Udyam micro-enterprise status — faces consignment detention at the port of entry; there is no rectification window analogous to the labelling-defect regime. Confirm authorisation validity before vessel departure.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8447 90 10 require BIS certification?

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

Who is exempt from the EPR authorisation requirement for this HSN?

Micro enterprises as defined under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 are exempt from the EPR obligation; all other importers must hold a valid CPCB EPR authorisation before filing the bill of entry.

What happens if the EPR authorisation has expired at the time of import?

An expired EPR authorisation renders the import non-compliant with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, exposing the consignment to detention and the importer to enforcement action by CPCB; the authorisation must be renewed and current before the bill of entry is filed.
