Compliance steps

1
Obtain EPR authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before filing the bill of entry. The authorisation is required for importers of equipment used for milling or similar processing of wood, metal, and other materials under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.

2
If claiming the micro-enterprise exemption from EPR obligations, ensure a valid Udyam registration certificate is available at the bill of entry stage confirming micro-enterprise status as defined in the MSME Development Act, 2006. Absence of the certificate disqualifies the exemption claim.

A word of counsel

The most frequent error on this tariff line is assuming that the EPR obligation is confined to consumer electronics and IT equipment; Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 explicitly covers equipment for milling or similar processing of metal and other materials — which places horizontal bed-type machine-tools squarely within scope. The micro-enterprise carve-out is narrow and status-dependent: an importer who has crossed the MSME turnover threshold since last Udyam registration but not updated the certificate will have the exemption rejected at the bill of entry, resulting in detention.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8459 69 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers horizontal bed-type milling and boring machine-tools. Import is governed by the Central Pollution Control Board's EPR authorisation requirement under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, notified vide G.S.R. 801(E) dated 02-11-2022.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to large-scale stationary industrial tools?

No. The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 Schedule I explicitly excludes large-scale stationary industrial tools from the EPR obligation for milling and similar metal-processing equipment; importers of such tools should verify their product's scope against the Schedule I description before filing.

Can a micro-enterprise importer skip EPR authorisation entirely?

Yes, provided the importer holds valid Udyam registration confirming micro-enterprise status as defined in the MSME Development Act, 2006; EPR does not apply to such enterprises, but the registration certificate must be current and on file at the bill of entry stage.
