Compliance steps

1
Verify whether the pyrometer being imported is classified as a medical device under G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. If so, obtain the applicable CDSCO registration certificate — either as the Indian Authorised Representative or as the importer — before the bill of entry is filed.

2
Ensure all registration and compliance conditions stipulated in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 are met at the time of import. Consignments arriving without valid CDSCO registration where the device is listed in that notification are liable to detention and seizure at the port of entry.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing pyrometers without first confirming whether the specific model falls within the medical-device scope of G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020. Industrial pyrometers not intended for medical use may fall outside CDSCO's purview, but the determination of scope rests on the device's intended use and labelling — not on the tariff classification alone. A misclassification of intended use that bypasses CDSCO registration exposes the importer to confiscation and criminal liability under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 9025 19 20 require BIS certification?

No, pyrometers under this tariff line are not covered by any BIS Quality Control Order. Where the pyrometer constitutes a medical device listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020, import is governed by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017.

Which pyrometers are captured by the CDSCO registration requirement?

Only those devices falling within the categories listed in G.S.R. 102(E) dated 11-02-2020 issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; pyrometers used exclusively for industrial or non-medical purposes are not within that notification's scope.

What happens if a medical-use pyrometer is imported without CDSCO registration?

The consignment is liable to detention at the port of entry, and the importer faces confiscation of goods along with monetary penalty and potential prosecution under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
