Compliance steps

1
Determine whether the specific parts or accessories being imported fall within the list of medical devices notified under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. If they do, obtain the requisite CDSCO registration before shipment; importing notified medical devices without registration renders the consignment liable to detention and confiscation.
G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
2
Ensure all registration certificates and compliance documentation required under G.S.R. 102(E) are uploaded in e-Sanchit at the bill of entry stage. The proper officer will verify that mandatory CDSCO conditions are satisfied before granting out-of-charge.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing under the residual 'parts and accessories' description without first establishing whether the specific goods are enumerated in the G.S.R. 102(E) medical-device schedule. Parts that serve a dual use — photographic laboratory equipment and a notified medical device application — fall squarely within CDSCO scope if the end-use is clinical; a post-arrival classification correction does not cure the absence of prior CDSCO registration, and the consignment remains liable to seizure.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9010 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers photographic laboratory apparatus parts and accessories under this tariff line. Where the goods qualify as medical devices, import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

How do I determine whether my goods are covered by G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020?

Cross-reference the specific part or accessory against the device list notified in G.S.R. 102(E); if the item is listed, CDSCO registration and full compliance with the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 are mandatory before import.

What happens if parts and accessories under HSN 9010 90 00 arrive without the required CDSCO registration?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import and, where no valid registration is subsequently produced, to confiscation and re-export or destruction under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.
