Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the specific parts to be imported fall within the medical devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If listed, obtain the mandatory CDSCO registration before the bill of entry is filed; unregistered import of a notified medical device attracts detention and potential confiscation.

2
Ensure all conditions specified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, including registration and any labelling or documentation requirements, are met and the supporting credentials are uploaded in e-Sanchit before out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The critical error on this tariff line is assuming that all spectacle-frame parts are outside the medical-device regime and importing without checking against the G.S.R. 102(E) schedule. Parts that fall within the notified categories require CDSCO registration as a precondition to import; presenting a purchase invoice or optical-industry documentation at the port does not substitute for the registration certificate, and a missing CDSCO credential results in consignment detention pending regularisation.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9003 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers spectacle or goggle frame parts under this tariff line. Import compliance is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation registration framework under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, where the parts are notified as medical devices.

How do I determine whether my specific parts are subject to CDSCO registration under G.S.R. 102(E)?

Cross-reference the product description against the list of medical devices notified in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; only parts explicitly listed in that notification attract the CDSCO registration and import-compliance conditions.

What happens if parts are imported without CDSCO registration when registration is required?

Import without the required CDSCO registration constitutes a violation of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 and exposes the consignment to detention, seizure, and potential confiscation, with monetary penalty and criminal liability under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
