A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that parts and accessories for binoculars or optical telescopes fall outside the medical-device registration regime because the end product appears to be an optical rather than a clinical instrument. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 draws the scope from the listing in the notification, not from a lay characterisation of the product; importers who ship without verifying whether their specific part or accessory is listed face consignment detention and potential seizure at the bill-of-entry stage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9005 90 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories for binoculars or optical telescopes. Import of medical devices within this tariff line is governed by Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation registration under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Does every part or accessory under HSN 9005 90 10 require CDSCO registration, or only those explicitly listed?

Only parts and accessories that are listed as medical devices in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are subject to CDSCO registration conditions; importers must check the notification list before filing the bill of entry.

What happens if the CDSCO registration has expired at the time of import?

An expired registration renders the consignment non-compliant under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, exposing it to detention at the port of entry and potential refusal of out-of-charge until a valid registration is produced or the consignment is re-exported.
