Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the specific part or accessory falls within the medical devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. If so, obtain the mandatory CDSCO registration before filing the bill of entry; unregistered imports of notified medical devices are liable to detention and confiscation.

Ensure all conditions of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are met at the bill-of-entry stage and that the CDSCO registration certificate is uploaded in e-Sanchit. Non-compliance with the notification conditions is treated as a contravention of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

A word of counsel

The critical error on this tariff line is assuming that 'parts and accessories' categorically escape the medical-device regime. Where a part is integral to a notified medical device — for example, a projector component used in ophthalmic or diagnostic imaging equipment — G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 pulls it within CDSCO's scope, and the registration obligation attaches to the component, not merely to the finished device. Importers should obtain a written scope determination from CDSCO before shipment to avoid detention at port.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9008 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories for image projectors or photographic enlargers. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 where the goods are classified as notified medical devices under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare notification.

How do I confirm whether my specific part or accessory is a notified medical device under G.S.R. 102(E)?

Review the device list annexed to G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 and cross-reference the intended end-use of the component. Where classification is ambiguous, a formal written query to CDSCO before import is the safest course to avoid customs detention.

What happens if parts are imported without CDSCO registration when G.S.R. 102(E) applies?

The consignment is liable to detention at port, and the import is treated as a violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, which may attract confiscation, monetary penalty, and prosecution.
