    If the consignment comprises used or refurbished high-end, high-value medical equipment other than critical care medical equipment, comply with all conditions in the MEFCC Office Memorandum dated 15-12-2023.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is treating CDSCO device registration as the sole pre-import obligation and overlooking the EPR authorisation requirement from CPCB, which is independently verified at the bill-of-entry stage. A consignment with a current CDSCO registration but no EPR authorisation will be detained at the port of entry; the MSME micro-enterprise exemption from EPR must be documented with a valid Udyam registration — a bare assertion of micro-enterprise status is not accepted as compliance.
