CDSCO CLEARANCE · MOHFW CLEARANCE

HSN 9001 90 10 (Optical calcite crystal) is subject to Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) registration requirements under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, for any optical calcite crystal notified as a medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). Importers must confirm whether the specific product falls within the MOHFW-notified medical device categories and, if so, complete CDSCO registration before the bill of entry.

Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the optical calcite crystal to be imported is listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by MOHFW. If listed, obtain the requisite CDSCO registration and ensure all conditions specified in that notification — including device registration and importer registration — are met before filing the bill of entry.

Additionally, confirm whether the product falls within the List of Telecom products notified under the Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) scheme. Where applicable, ensure compliance with Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017 and DoT Notifications TEC/01/2017-TC dated 04-07-2019 and 23-06-2020, as 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 critical error on this tariff line is assuming that optical calcite crystal — classified under a general 'Other' residual entry — lies outside the medical device regime. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 captures specific optical components intended for medical applications; an importer who ships without first verifying the MOHFW notification scope faces detention at the port of entry, potential confiscation, and monetary penalty under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017. Scope verification against the notified device list must precede purchase-order placement, not bill-of-entry filing.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9001 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, optical calcite crystal is not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, where the product is notified as a medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

What documentation must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for a CDSCO-notified medical device under this tariff line?

For devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E), the CDSCO registration certificate and importer registration must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge; the exact document codes should be confirmed against the current CDSCO and CBIC guidance applicable to the specific device category.

Does the MTCTE certification requirement apply to all optical calcite crystal imports?

No. MTCTE certification under the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017 applies only where the optical calcite crystal is specified in the DoT-notified list of telecom products; importers must check the current MTCTE product list as amended by F.No.5-2/2024-TC/TEC(Pt.1) dated 25-02-2025 to determine applicability.
