A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing ring gauges without confirming that the specific device model and manufacturer are individually listed within the CDSCO registration — a registration held for one model does not automatically cover variants of differing calibrated diameters or tolerance grades. A consignment arriving with a registration that does not expressly cover the imported device is treated as an unregistered medical device import, attracting detention and potential confiscation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9017 30 22 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers ring gauges under this tariff line. Import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, pursuant to G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Is CDSCO registration required for every manufacturer exporting ring gauges to India under this HSN?

Yes. G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 mandates that the device be registered with CDSCO, and each foreign manufacturer's facility and product must satisfy the registration conditions specified in that notification.

What happens if the CDSCO registration has lapsed at the time of import?

A lapsed registration renders the consignment non-compliant at the bill of entry stage, exposing it to detention and re-export or confiscation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 until a valid registration is reinstated.
