A word of counsel

The critical error on this tariff line is assuming that because the heading covers general cinematographic camera parts, the CDSCO medical-device regime does not apply. Where the imported accessory is specifically listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 — such as an imaging component used in a medical context — the full CDSCO registration obligation attaches; filing at the bill of entry without valid registration results in consignment detention and potential seizure under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9007 91 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers cinematographic camera parts under this tariff line. Where the product qualifies as a listed medical device, import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, pursuant to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare notification G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

How do I determine if my camera accessory is a listed medical device under G.S.R. 102(E)?

Cross-reference the specific component against the device categories enumerated in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; if the accessory is intended or marketed for a medical purpose and appears on that list, CDSCO registration is mandatory before import.

What happens if a listed medical device under this HSN is imported without CDSCO registration?

Importation of a listed medical device without valid CDSCO registration constitutes a breach of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, exposing the consignment to detention, seizure, and monetary penalty under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
