Compliance steps

1
Confirm that the projection screen being imported falls within the scope of medical devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. If it does, obtain the requisite CDSCO registration before filing the bill of entry; import without valid registration attracts detention and potential confiscation.

2
Upload all mandatory CDSCO registration documents and the MOHFW compliance declaration in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. Failure to upload the required documents prior to out-of-charge will result in customs detention pending PGA clearance.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that projection screens intended for non-medical, audiovisual, or general photographic use are automatically outside the CDSCO registration obligation. The scope of G.S.R. 102(E) is defined by the device's intended use, not solely by the HSN; a negatoscope-type or diagnostic-imaging projection screen will trigger the medical-device registration requirement regardless of how the commercial invoice describes the product. Confirming intended-use classification before shipment — not at the port — avoids consignment detention and demurrage.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9010 60 00 require BIS certification?

No, projection screens under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Import compliance is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, where the device qualifies as a listed medical device under that notification.

Does the CDSCO registration requirement apply to all projection screens or only to those used as medical devices?

The registration obligation under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 applies specifically to devices listed in that notification; the determining factor is the intended medical use of the projection screen, and importers must assess scope before dispatch.

What happens if a projection screen is imported without the required CDSCO registration?

A consignment imported without a valid CDSCO registration in violation of G.S.R. 102(E) is liable to detention at the port of import, with potential confiscation and monetary penalty; retrospective registration does not cure the import violation.
