A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing rewireable fuses without first checking the current MTCTE notified-product list, which has been expanded progressively through amendments dated June 2022 and February 2025. A product not listed in the original 2019/2020 notifications may have been brought within mandatory certification scope by a later amendment; the importer bears the burden of confirming scope against the most current notification before dispatch, not at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 8536 10 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers other rewireable fuses under this tariff line. The operative regime is mandatory MTCTE type-approval certification under the Department of Telecommunications pursuant to the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017.

How do I confirm whether my rewireable fuse model is on the MTCTE notified list?

The notified list is maintained by the Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC) and has been amended by notifications up to F.No.5-2/2024-TC/TEC (Pt.1) dated 25-02-2025; confirm the current list directly with TEC before placing the purchase order.

What happens if the MTCTE certificate is absent at the bill of entry for a listed product?

The consignment is liable to detention at port, with demurrage and ground rent accruing; the proper officer will refuse out-of-charge until a valid TEC type-approval certificate is produced or the product is re-exported.
