A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing parts and accessories on the assumption that only fully assembled compound optical microscopes fall within the CDSCO medical-device regime. Where a part or accessory is specifically listed or classifiable within a notified device category under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, CDSCO registration is required for that component independently; consignments lacking registration are liable to detention and refusal of out-of-charge at the port of import.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9011 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories for compound optical microscopes. Import of these goods is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, where the product falls within a category notified by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

Do all parts and accessories under this HSN require CDSCO registration?

No. CDSCO registration is required only where the specific part or accessory falls within a medical-device category listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; parts intended purely for non-medical laboratory or industrial optical microscopes are outside the notified scope.

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

A consignment imported without CDSCO registration in breach of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 is liable to detention at the port of import, refusal of out-of-charge, and potential confiscation or re-export under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.
