Compliance steps

1
Obtain CDSCO device registration for the specific image projector model before filing the bill of entry. The device must be listed and registered in accordance with the conditions set out in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; import without a valid registration certificate attracts detention and refusal of out-of-charge.

2
Upload the CDSCO registration certificate and all compliance documents mandated under G.S.R. 102(E) in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. Verify that each document is current and covers the exact device model and importer entity named in the import declaration.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that a general optical projector falls outside the CDSCO medical-device regime because the HSN chapter covers optical instruments broadly. Where the device is marketed or intended for medical, diagnostic, or clinical use, G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 brings it squarely within the CDSCO registration obligation; a projector cleared without registration on the basis that it appears 'non-medical' is liable to seizure and confiscation if post-clearance inspection reveals a medical end-use claim.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9008 50 30 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers image projectors under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, as notified by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Does every image projector under HSN 9008 50 30 require CDSCO registration, or only specific types?

Only devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are subject to mandatory CDSCO registration; importers should verify whether their specific projector model falls within the notified medical-device categories before filing the bill of entry.

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

An expired registration certificate does not satisfy the G.S.R. 102(E) compliance conditions, and the consignment is liable to detention at the port of entry pending regularisation or, if regularisation is not possible, re-export or confiscation.
