A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is assuming that all parts and accessories under HSN 9017 90 00 are outside the medical-device regime because the heading primarily covers precision measuring and drawing instruments. Only those parts and accessories that correspond to a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 attract CDSCO registration; importing a listed accessory without registration — even as a replacement component — constitutes a violation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 and can result in seizure and monetary penalty.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9017 90 00 require BIS certification?

No, no BIS Quality Control Order covers parts and accessories under heading 9017. Import compliance for this tariff line is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation registration requirement under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, where the goods fall within the devices listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020.

Does the CDSCO registration requirement apply to all parts under this HSN or only to specific items?

Only those parts and accessories that correspond to a medical device specifically listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are subject to CDSCO registration; parts used exclusively with non-medical precision measuring or drawing instruments fall outside the medical-device regime.

What happens if a consignment of listed medical-device accessories arrives without CDSCO registration?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of import and, if the deficiency is not rectified, to confiscation and monetary penalty under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 as notified by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
