Compliance steps

1
Obtain Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation from the Central Pollution Control Board before importing parts or consumables for television sets (including LCD/LED) that fall under Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. EPR authorisation is not required for micro-enterprises as defined under the MSME Development Act, 2006; document the micro-enterprise status if claiming this exemption.

2
Verify whether the specific aerial or aerial-reflector part is listed among the telecom products notified under the MTCTE scheme and, if so, ensure the product holds mandatory certification. The MTCTE product list has been updated by DoT notifications TEC/01/2017-TC dated 04-07-2019 and 23-06-2020 as further amended by F.No.5-2/2021-TC/TEC/131 dated 13-06-2022 and F.No.5-2/2024-TC/TEC(Pt.1) dated 25-02-2025.

A word of counsel

The most common misclassification risk on this residual line is Low Noise Block (LNB) down-converters: per CBIC Circular 13/2013-CUS dated 05-04-2013, LNBs are classifiable under HSN 8543 70 99 and not under 8529 10 19. Filing an LNB consignment under 8529 10 19 exposes the importer to re-assessment, differential duty demand, and potential misdeclaration proceedings under the Customs Act, 1962; confirm the product's technical specification against the CBIC ruling before bill-of-entry filing.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8529 10 19 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this residual aerial-parts heading. The operative requirements are CPCB Extended Producer Responsibility authorisation under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and, where the product is a notified telecom product, MTCTE mandatory certification under the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017.

Does the EPR authorisation requirement apply to all importers of aerial and television parts under this HSN?

EPR authorisation is required for importers of parts and consumables of television sets (including LCD/LED) listed in Schedule I of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, but is explicitly exempt for micro-enterprises as defined in the MSME Development Act, 2006; the exemption must be supported by documentary evidence of micro-enterprise status.

Can Low Noise Block down-converters be imported under HSN 8529 10 19?

No. CBIC Circular 13/2013-CUS dated 05-04-2013 classifies LNB down-converters under HSN 8543 70 99; filing them under 8529 10 19 constitutes a misclassification and attracts re-assessment and differential duty proceedings.
