A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that parts for precision balances fall outside the medical-device registration requirement because they are components rather than finished instruments. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 applies to listed medical devices and their parts; importing without a valid CDSCO registration — even for components — exposes the consignment to detention and the importer to enforcement action under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.
