A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is underestimating the scope of G.S.R. 102(E): importers assume a general photographic camera classification and overlook that this specific product family has been notified as a medical device by MOHFW, triggering full CDSCO registration obligations. A consignment cleared without a valid CDSCO registration is liable to seizure and regulatory action under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, irrespective of its apparent end-use as a consumer camera.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9006 59 10 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers fixed focus 110 mm cameras under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation 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.

What registration documentation must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for this tariff line?

Documentation evidencing CDSCO registration and compliance with all conditions of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 must be uploaded in e-Sanchit before customs out-of-charge; failure to upload will result in the bill of entry being held pending PGA clearance.

Does the CDSCO registration requirement apply even if the camera is imported for non-medical commercial use?

Yes. Classification under G.S.R. 102(E) is product-based, not end-use-based; once the device is listed in the MOHFW notification, CDSCO registration is mandatory regardless of the importer's stated end-use.
