Compliance steps

1
Obtain a valid Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing parts, consumables, or spares of washing machines listed 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, document that status with a valid Udyam registration certificate. EPR authorisation does not apply to such micro-enterprises, but the exemption claim must be supported by current Udyam registration at the bill of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that EPR authorisation is only a post-import compliance obligation. Customs out-of-charge is contingent on verification of the EPR authorisation at the bill of entry; consignments arriving without a current CPCB EPR authorisation are detained, attracting demurrage and ground rent. The micro-enterprise exemption requires affirmative documentary proof — Udyam registration — and cannot be claimed by self-declaration alone at the time of clearance.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8450 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts of household washing machines under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's EPR authorisation requirement under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, notified via G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to every importer of washing machine parts?

No. Micro-enterprises as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006 are exempt from the EPR authorisation requirement; all other importers must hold a valid CPCB EPR authorisation before filing the bill of entry.

What happens if washing machine parts are imported without a current CPCB EPR authorisation?

The consignment is liable to detention at port, with demurrage and ground rent accruing until the authorisation is produced or the goods are re-exported; non-compliance also exposes the importer to penalties under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.
