Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the specific parts and accessories being imported are listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. If listed, obtain the requisite CDSCO registration before filing the bill of entry — import without valid registration constitutes a violation of the conditions specified in that notification.

A word of counsel

The single most common error on this tariff line is importing parts and accessories under the residual 'Other' descriptor without first checking whether the specific item falls within the medical devices enumerated in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. Parts that serve a general surveying or geophysical function are outside CDSCO scope, but identical hardware used as a component of a listed medical device triggers the full registration regime — misclassification at this boundary results in consignment detention pending CDSCO verification.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9015 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers this tariff line. Where the parts and accessories fall within the medical devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation registration regime under that Ministry of Health and Family Welfare notification.

How do I determine whether my parts and accessories require CDSCO registration?

The operative criterion is whether the specific item is enumerated in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020; parts used exclusively in surveying, hydrographic, or geophysical instruments without medical application fall outside the notification's scope.

What happens if CDSCO registration is not obtained before the consignment arrives at port?

A consignment of medical-device-classified parts arriving without valid CDSCO registration is liable to detention at the port of import pending regularisation, and continued non-compliance can attract confiscation and monetary penalty under the applicable provisions.
