Spectacle lenses of glass, other than single or bifocal
HSN 9001 40 90 (spectacle lenses of glass, other) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, pursuant to G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). Importers must satisfy the registration and compliance conditions notified in G.S.R. 102(E) before filing the bill of entry.
- Registration certificate from CDSCO
- Import licence from CDSCO
- MOHFW compliance declaration
- 1Obtain CDSCO registration for the spectacle lenses under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, as required by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. Ensure all conditions specified in that notification — including foreign-manufacturer registration and Authorised Indian Representative appointment — are satisfied before the consignment is shipped.G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare · Medical Devices Rules, 2017
- 2Upload the mandatory CDSCO registration certificate and supporting compliance documentation in e-Sanchit before filing the bill of entry. The proper officer will verify these documents prior to granting out-of-charge; a missing or lapsed registration will result in consignment detention.G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 · Medical Devices Rules, 2017
The most common error on this tariff line is conflating the foreign-manufacturer registration requirement with the importer's own CDSCO import licence: both the overseas manufacturing facility and the Indian importer must hold current, product-specific CDSCO credentials, and a lapse in either triggers detention at the bill-of-entry stage. Importers who source lenses from multiple overseas suppliers should audit each facility's registration status before each shipment, as G.S.R. 102(E) conditions attach to the manufacturing facility, not merely to the product category.
